- This is NOT part of the 2nd Z/28 in Garnet Red being restored on this channel
This video is Part 6 of my 69 Camaro Z28 Full Frame Off Restoration Video Series. This video features the final Sealer & Paint of the body and body panels in the original beautiful Lemans Blue Color. I will be showing each step of the restoration process of this restoration in real time. I hope it will be enjoyable and informative and I welcome all comments and input. I have posted more videos on the disassembly of this 69 Camaro Z28 showing the Dash Disassembly and both the front and rear suspension removal.

A great set of videos with very good explanations and, very important, no annoying music. Thanks for this gift for us, Camaro lovers.
What a great paint job and it’s only at the initial stages, top work my friends 👍👍👍
Really like everything you have done inspired me to finish my 69 same la mans blue, putting rear quarters on as I text thanks for video showed me what I needed to do and what's behind it all
Great job!
Can’t wait to see the stripes

I love LeMans blue it was on z062007 vett dam it was beautiful
Nice car! I got the same car, colors that is. Very nice job! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Peter @digitalpizza. I know this video was posted a while ago, but I just came across your channel and started following. I've been bingeing your videos! Amazing work!
Do you recall how many liters of the Lemans blue you mixed to spray the full car?
Beautiful 🥰 job
Very nice
This is the best informative restoration video I've seen out there. I'm in the process of restoring a 69 Camaro Z28 as well. Any chance you could pUT together a dvd set of the complete series of all your videos of both the Z28s you restored? I would love to have this and would gladly pay you.
I've painted dozens of of them ! Never had a paint booth just a lot of wet sanding and buffing.
Freaking Beautiful
Time well spent
Is that base coat/clear coat urethane?
Perfect color just add white stripes and she's perfect
Marko Polo Yep, white stripes are coming
What brand of paint did you use ,my 68 is lemans blue ?and I want to repaint it ,I'm thinking bang for the buck ppg omni paint
How many coats of paint and clear was put on the car?
Hi Antonio, 1 coat of sealer, 2 or 3 coats of paint, 2 coats of clear. wet sanded the hood and trunk, added the stripes, then clear it again. Then cut and polish.
@@digitalpizza1 beautiful car
Do you know what the color code if ?
how many coats of paint and clear?
Hi Barry, 1 coat of sealer, 2 or 3 coats of paint, 2 coats of clear. Now we will cut the clear down, add the stripes, then clear it again. Then cut and polish.
I had a 1969 Camaro. It was Glacier Blue from the factory, is this blue an updated version?
Glacier Blue is different.
This is Lemans Blue which is a little darker and richer
@@digitalpizza1 Thank you……great looking car….I have a 1969 Camaro convertible in the Buttternut Yellow……fun project.
I must have missed the actual bodywork on the collision damage.
That was the red Z. Go to my channel and see the play list on the red Z
This is the Le Mans Blue Z
Careful taking that tape off. You can get tape-bridging where the paint and tape become one thing... and wind up lifting into the painted surface.
Hi John, Yes, you are correct. The good thing about this job was that the entire car was stripped down which makes it easier to tape everything in such a way that that is less of a problem then if you are painting a car that is complete, and you are just taping everything up. There was actually very little taping involved in this one.
Thanks for your reply
@@digitalpizza1 Alrighty.
I just wanted to peeps to know there's no worse feeling in the world than pulling the tape of and watching a big strip of paint come off with it.
It's enough to make a man cry and it's really tough to fix and blend back in so you just have to start all over.
Anyway - I love your channel. Keep up the great work.
Hi John, boy, you speak the truth 😎
Thanks again for your input. It helps everyone
Weren't the stripes Decals originally ? On original cars the stripes looked flatter and not shiny.
The original stripes were painted on separately after the car was painted, they were not cleared at the factory and were generally done in a sloppy inconsistent manner and could look very different from car to car
I have chosen to clear them
@@digitalpizza1 When a car is restored , are the stripes painted after the car is cleared or before and cleared over. To be authentic shouldn't they be painted on after the clear. Thanks for clearing that up. I appreciate it.
They painted them on after the car was cleared.
So when the car was new, the stripes were painted over the clear.
So I painted them over the clear, but then we chose to clear the stripes.
It’s not as the factory did it, but generally is an excepted method in restoration
@@digitalpizza1 thank you
@@digitalpizza1 They didnt use clear coat in 69 , everything was laquer base
I have a 69 RS/SS Camaro my paint is Olympic gold . Not crazy about that color. Do you think it would affect the value of the car if I painted it a different color I like the Le Mans blue . But I do not want to decrease the value. What do you think?
If the color is the only thing you change, it would have the least affect unless it’s original paint. I would not change it if it’s original paint. Figure it might have a deduction of what ever it would cost to put it back to gold. But that’s not much compared to what these cars are worth.
If it’s not a number matching car, the it wouldn’t matter as much
Another idea is, you could also put something out there to see if anyone is interested in trading. There are guys who are really into the Olympic gold.
It is a numbers matching car we’ve owned the car since the 70s it’s a 396 325 hp. I think your right Olympic gold probably the best way to go with it.
I noticed someone picked up his hose. As a painter I personal really really do not like when someone does this. Cheers
That was me who picked up the hose, I agree with you, but he actually called me over to hold the hose because he didn't want to step on it or trip over it due to the tight area around the car at that point.
@@digitalpizza1 thank you for the great videos. A person really
Puts themselves out here by posting videos. Lots of scrutiny. That’s a very nice car also. I’m waiting for your CBX video. Planning I doing my 1983 1100f one day. Cheers man.
@@ouimetco Thanks Ouimetco, I really appreciate your comments and support of the channel. It makes a difference. I will be posting a bunch more CBX videos on the completion of those bikes starting this week , so keep an eye out for those. I will be starting on the re-assembly of the 69 Z real soon as well. Then after the 2 CBXs are complete, I will be starting on 2 80 CBXs and my 1100F.
