    Default The '68 Camaro is almost ready for paint. Any custom painters or recommendations?

    It's about time for paint! The car has been over at AMD Installation's shop in Georgia having evvvvvery body panel replaced....inside, outside, roof, floor, trunk... all of it! It'll be done and on the way back soon. Does anyone on here do paint for high-end pro-touring restorations like I have going? ...or do you have any great referrals? (Feel free to attach pictures to this thread of work you've had done if you have referrals)

    Any help, recommendations, and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    I see you went the discount route...

    What are the plans for it?

    I'm hoping Obamacare has some sort of government assisted classic car restoration reimbursement at the end of the year. No? Shit!

    I have an LS3 out of a new Camaro SS with a 6-speed manual bolted to it.... and if I quit being scared, an intercooled ProCharger blower to go on it. Heidt's PRO-G front subframe assembly, Heidt's 4-link for the Ford 9" rear diff (also mini-tubbed), 2006 Pontiac GTO front and rear seats, new Camaro console, and all the miscellaneous crap that goes with trying to make an old car a new car. It's never ending!

    The plan is to pretty much have a sweet ass sweet pro-touring street car like this in the end. If there is an "end"! ...oh, and I don't know if I have quite the cojones it'll take to have it in black so I'm thinking a dark metallic titanium silver will be the color. My OCD probably wouldn't like it to be black colored either.

    They are more of a collision repair shop but they may do the paint work for you.

    I vote for a nice wood paneling.
