This last weekend I pulled out the Camaro to give it the yearly cleaning that she gets. I decided to try some Nattys Red to see what it would be like on a Lacquer paint job.
I put a whole coat of Nattys red on and let it sit all day, at first I was not wowed with the results as I was with my Black truck, but later that day I used some PB`s QD+ on the Chrome and accidentally got some on the paint, after I buffed the area off I was amazed how wet the paint looked, I ended up going over the whole car and the results were wonderful.
The whole process really woke up this 21 year old paint.:bigups

A little history on this car..................bear with me, Ill get to paint in a sec......;),

I bought this car when I was 17 to restore and sell, at the time I was dating my wife and she was talking that she would love a Hugger Orange Camaro, now she had no idea that I had this car, so knowing that I decided to restore it with the colors that she wanted and give it to her for her 18th B-day.


Originally the car was all blue. I painted it with the SS Style stripes with several coats of Hugger Orange Laquer, topped with a few coats of clear. It was quite a job and took close to 6 months to complete. Needless to say she was surprised when I gave it to her.

Thanks guys, and yes Rabbi`s request is hard to pass up with that avatar :dnaughty:D

Ill have to get some more pics for you guys, the garage is a little tight on space right now so getting around it is a challenge. Im redoing our kitchen and the garage is full of fixtures etc. Here is an older pic of it when we had it at a show years ago.
