The inner fenders were sprayed with Imron and the undersides were sprayed with 3M Body Protection System.

The body was rolled into the paint booth to spray color on all of the jamb areas.

The backsides of fenders, doors, the wing, under hood area, and trunk jambs were all mask and painted Jetstream Blue and clear coated.

The body panels were carefully reassembled on the car with the weatherstrip and inner fenders.

Next, the RHS block 427 engine was stripped of bolt ons, chemically cleaned, and sprayed with and Eastwood high temp ceramic silver engine paint. This was done to preserve the aluminum look, and it will not discolor from heat or oxidize.

During the wet sanding process, the crew noticed a few areas which did not appear to be as straight as they could be, so the Camaro was quickly treated to another coat of sprayable polyester, guide coated, and blocked once again. Primers are not shiny, so it is hard to see how reflections will appear after the car has been painted, clearcoated, and buffed smooth. A large board with stripes printed on it was used to verify a straight reflection in the body panels.

That's a good idea using the striped board to check for straightness. Looking good !

Beautiful kevin just beautiful

Thanks guys!

Next, the car was cleaned, masked, and rolled into the baking paint booth for exterior color and clearcoat. We were very excited to see the results!

We let the car cure in the sun for a couple days to let the clear outgas and harden. The car looked really nice "straight out of the gun".

That blue is beautiful...Love it!!

I'm enjoying the build process, Kevin. Jet Stream Blue is a great color, basically a modernized LeMans Blue.

Tony

Thanks Gents! Yes Tony, the Jet Stream is perhaps a little sparklier and a little greener than LeMans. We really dig the color.
