Well after long hard hours of body work, aligning panels, re-aligning panels and some minor body mods I have come to the point where i'm finally ready for primer! I'll be priming monday and hopefully sprayin' some colour friday or the following monday. Check the pics! and remember, I did all the work myself, and this is my first time doing any body work to this extent! :thumbsup:

Looks good,remember the more priming and long board blocking the straighter it will be.I like the 3-M powder guide coat or you could use flat black.I also on nice jobs like poliester spray fill it realy gives you something to work with blocking.I wouldn't rush let the primer dry for a week or so so it shrinks up all the way.Is that bare metal in the pics or black ep primer me personaly I like to remove the ep and start over but alot say its alright to leave on.Any way this is just some things I do every body has there own tecniques...JMO...Good luck with the paint.Is that filters in the doors like a paint booth next to the car or am I seeing things...And last what color are going with....

Thanks! So I should let the primer sit for a week or so before blocking? There's no bare metal on the car, all of it was covered with self-etching primer, the black you see is from the new fenders and door (i left the edp coating on) and just scuffed it up. And yes, those are filters in the doors to the paint booth. I'm going with the new camaro "silver ice metallic" base clear and adding the "Cyber grey"(new camaro colour aswell) SS racing stripes. I also just ended up modifying the front valance to fit some aftermarket fog lamps which i'll be putting HID's in. Ordered led turn signal markers to go in behind my grill. Should look good when i'm done, can't wait!
