Re: Stupid Stickers
Scott, I sent you a PM with Levon's info. If anyone else needs it, let me know.
I do not want to speak for Dennis but I also don't want to see Dennis getting all kinds of requests for stamps as he stuck his neck out and made these for me at his office. He did a huge favor for me and I just wanted to give credit were credit was due. As soon as I get everything together, I fully intend to offer this as another facet of my restoration business. I have stamped several peoples parts for them already but I am currently seeking out a better type of ink, hopefully epoxy and also trying to locate several correct colors. The inks I have used so far are not durable and smudge very easily. As soon as I can, I would like to put together a complete detail kit for the '70 Chevelle to start with. I would rather have parts sent to me vs sending the stamps out as they often don't come back or come back in bad shape. However, tire stamps are a different situation obviously.
As far as the painting question goes, there are already several generic sources for this info. Both Team Chevelle and Team Camaro list these on their sites. Keep in mind though that these are very genericas they generally list parts as 'black, cast iron, silver', etc. As an example, this particular LS6 I restored used no cast iron paint. Instead, I found a way to replicate original cast iron color on both natural and heat treated parts. However, this is both expensive and time consuming and is not designed for the street driven car but rather a trailered car. As far as the black goes, there are many different shades and gloss levels used on these cars and it just depended on the vendor and a variety of other reasons such as sprayed vs dipped.
And yes, that is a Shadow Grey car.
