1973 Camaro Z28 - Your chance to work on single stage paint!


We have a new forum member in Raleigh, North Carolina could use a helping hand...


Hey all Autogeek forum members... who do we have here in the Raleigh, North Carolina area that has some or a lot of experience using a DA Polisher that can give Brian a hand doing an extreme makeover to the original paint on his 1973 Camaro Z28


If I lived closer I would be there in a heartbeat for the chance to restore the original single stage metallic paint on this classic Camaro.

Barn Treasure like this with original paint still in good condition is becoming more and more rare and thus the opportunity to work on beauty like this is extremely rare.


So who do we have?


Come on... pony up to the table and flatten out the learning curve while helping to preserve the paint on Brian's new-to-him Z28 Camaro...

I would love to help but I am just too far away.

Ditto.


It's such a cool car and a very rare opportunity.

I'm hoping we'll have someone with experience, either a Pro or a Weekend Warrior step up to the plate.


Also, whoever is involved, it's important to get the "Before shots" for the reasons I list in this article,


The power in the after shots is created in the before shots

There are a few in that area

Sal329----AKA Sal
Bunky----AKA AL
A.P.A.D--AKA JON
Just off the top of my head


These guys are some very knowledgable folks who might be willing to help.


I would love to jump in here myself....but i'm several hours away and my time is becoming very limited......but that dosen't completely rule me out!

Thanks Tim!


I'm pushing away from the keyboard tomorrow so maybe these guys will see this thread or maybe some other stellar forum member will PM them the link.

Guys, here is some of the info I sent to Mike along with pictures of the car.

The Car: A 1973 all original Z28 camaro. It was my fathers and I got it when he passed away. This car means more to me then most things... if I had the money to ship it to mike I would It has 43,xxx miles and is near perfect... in my mind anyway. The question I have is what should I do to make it shine more? I am not sure if it even needs to be touched. The car has been in a garage most of its life and I remember my dad always washing and waxing it!! I am going to attach some pictures and I was hoping to get a quick opinion from you.





















Maybe an opinion on this as well:

All things considered, that paint doesn't look bad at all! Those wheels aren't supposed to be that color though, I don't think

Hope some local members can help you out!
