This, in my opinion is one of the best looking 10+ Camaros around and is going to look FANTASTIC when he lowers it, which he claims is the next thing he's doing :heelclick



The wheels, lights, sidemarkers and bowties were all custom painted flat black on the car by the owner to match his flat black striping.



Anyway, for the process....



Foamed the car up with a strong Chemical Guys Wash n Gloss solution and let it set.

Washed the entire car, wheels, doorjambs, and wheel wells with 2 bucket wash method.

Clayed all surfaces (including windows) with Claymagic Blue clay.

Hand dried the flat-black wheels with a Mother's Wheel Waffleweave.

Polished/Sealed the the car with Meguiar's D151 on a white pad set on speed 6.

Did a final wipe-down with a Synthetic Spray Sealant on paint, windows and lights

Dressed the tires with Chemical Guys Trim Gel.

Dressed the wheel wells with Chemical Guys Bare-Bones Undercarriage spray.

Dressed rear diffuser, front grill, and front lower grill with CG Trim Gel.

Wiped down the exhaust tips with Mothers Metal Polish.



For the results...



I will let you know now that it was very tough to get flat black wheels to not show any spotting :P

This was a pretty decent shot showing the depth I was able to get out of the silver paint.

Some good reflection shots. These done at 2pm, so the sun was straight overhead...at dusk this car would have a ROCKING reflection

Looks great! GM silver is a really hard color to get to look good, as well as white. The paint is almost flat in direct sunlight. It is weird sometimes!



Great job getting it to look awesome!
 
Thanks, and you are absolutely right!



I had to delete about 15 shots I got because the paint looked so flat due to the angle and lighting. Taking pictures at 2pm was brutal trying to get good shots, because I am by no means a pro photographer, ha ha.
