Paint, how much?
For those of you who have painted your own Camaro, how much paint (gallons) did you need for hood stripes or hockey stripes or front and back hoods or the whole car? With all the discussions of mods to Camaros, I haven't seen what the cost of paint or painting is. Just curious and thanks!

All you need for stripes is a quart of paint. The cost depends on the color and if its a single or multi-coat application. You can search the web for the cost of the paint once you know the color code you want. The same amount of clear cost is needed if you want to clear over them.

Clear coat is the clear finish thats sprayed over the colored paint. It protects the paint and gives a car its high gloss. All cars are painted this way, have been for some years now as its a more durable finish. Some people choose to paint the stripes and stop there, others prefer to clear coat over them. The latter is more expensive, but gives a higher gloss and more durable finish. Either way it will look nice.
There are a lot of people on this site that have had stripes done and other custom painting. A quick search will turn up what they have paid. Last edited by Camaro_Custom_Painted; 11-12-2009 at 06:05 PM. |
