The paint was so rough and I always clay my cars when I get them. I immediately went into an Adams paint correction, polish, seal, glaze and Patriot wax. It really beams the light and glows now, smooth as glass and has zero swirls or fine scratches.

The color seems to have actually changed which is the same thing that happened with my RJT cars. I think its because the car captures the light differently now and reflects it clear and pure.

Tint goes on tomorrow as well as clear bra.

Stunning car, I was soooo close to that combo as my last 2 cars, 2010 IBM and 2001 NBM were almost like it, but I was mesmerized by HBM......and please, yes!....more pics!

Llumar Air80 on front glass and regular Llumar on all other glass and the XPel is on the front bumper, hood and mirrors.

Adams full paint correction and polish really makes this color pop, then again everyone thought my 2011 RJT was custom painted.

it may be V6 but still looks like a statement !!! I still wonder why GM deleted this color. Now there is ABM and nobody is buying it.. hope we get this one back for MY2018

Yes, your Camaro looks amazing. I get compliments all the time about our color. I just hope I can keep it nice and shiny!

Got my splitter that's been on the back wall for about 6wks. Love this color and the things I have in mind for this car!

Hey all! Looking to do some cosmetic stuff to my BVM. Any ideas?

Can't think of what colors go well with it.

What colors would you all do for racing stripe or accents? Has anyone blacked out their taillights? Pictures?

What it will look like with black tailights/markers.

I'm thinking of putting the dual stripes on the hood. Either orange or yellow with the BVM. Any votes on the colors?? I still need to search for pictures to see what it may look like.
