Re: Paint progress
Looks great!
 That car is going to be real sharp when it's done. Maybe I'll see it in person.

Re: Paint progress

The engine hooks on my 27K mile LT-1 Vette were brush painted (as well as the manifold) with aluminum silver paint. Under the silver paint the hooks are a raw metal that has a brown/black coloring to it. The silver paint was put on to cover the orange over-spray on the intake and t-stat housing plus keep the bare steel on the heads from rusting. The spark plug wire stands on the Vette were brush painted with chevy orange paint. In an effort to match my original LT-1 Vette I elected to leave my hooks a natural steel color. IMO they were not painted orange.

Re: Paint progress
I am curious as to what paint you used to match the red oxide primer on the underside.

Re: Paint progress
The PPG DP74 certain is a good underfloor color and has been used by many. Keep in mind that PPG did not intend for DP to go uncovered, as it can be harmed by UV light. Now I understand that the bottom of any Camaro wont get any UV light, but Im just pointing it out. Might be a good idea to top coat the DP with a Flattened Clear????
I have read in a magazine article where DYNACORN(sp?) is priming there New 69 Camaro bodies with DuPont IMRON 62-711 Red Oxide Primer.......and it looks very much similar to "whatever" was used on Norwood 70's........... Now you have TWO good alternatives to achieve the same end..........

Re: Paint progress
As stated by Chuck in his response the PPG DP74 is a good match for the red primer used at the factory and that is what I have used on this car. However, when put side by side with a nice original section of the original primer the DP 74 is significantly darker and more brown in appearance. So, if you are going to re-do the bottom of your car plan on doing the trunk too, once you have them both done very few people will be able to tell the difference.
