Awesome, thanks you guys. I think I am going to car fax it and pot it up on Ebay (to give the east coast a chance at a near rust free CA Camaro. And possibly get my asking price)

I honestly wouldn't car fax it. On a 2000 or newer car yeah but its really a waste of money for a car that can't truly be traced.

 

^^^^ ditto.

 

It depends on what the buyer wants. Seeing that its not a Z and has been re-painted over the original color would scare me. It shows that not enough care was taking during the prep process. How does the trunk lid and door jambs look? Are they still green? That stuff will make a huge difference. The motor/trans/rear end combo looks good, but I'm not sure someone would buy that for drag racing. Its ashame you're selling it. I know I have well over 10K in mine and I wouldn't get what I put in.

 

How does changing the color make a car scarey? Or how does it let you know it wasn't properly prepped? Doesn't make sense. If it was repainted the original color, then it would be OK, and mean it was prepped differently?

 

It makes me think it was a scuff and shoot and the proper time wasn't taken. In the grand scheme of repainting a car sanding is the easiest. If that isn't done, what else isn't?

It looks to be a very nice car and is my favorite year, I guess my preferences are just different than yours.

 

My reason for questioning a color change being a sign of poor prep was not a preference thing. I just can't see how changing the color means it wasn't prepped correctly. I've had my '71 painted 3 times since the factory painted it, and each time a different color.
I know from watching the work that it was prepped properly each time, so in your theory a color change means poor prep, and I just don't see that theory holding water.
Every paint job has the possibilty of being poorly prepped, and even more so if it's repainted the original color, because it's much easier to repaint original and not prep properly, as it wont show if the repaint is the same color, and they don't cover it all. Getting in the jams and crevices is hard to do with an assembled car, so if the color changes you have to break it down to get those places. If it doesn't change you can simply shoot it and not worry.

 

I am NOT trying to fight. BUT. Sanding is the hardest part of painting a car. No sweat dripping down my face and into my eyes. Spraying primer has been the easiest part of my day. Even prepping for shooting, like w+g remover and mixing are gravy. The hardest part is holding a gun full of paint at the same distance and speed the whole time.

 

I agree! Sanding is way tougher for me than welding in patch panels, or doing filler, or painting, etc. I find it the hardest part myself. Way more labor intensive.
