Re: How would you touch-up this survivor's paint?
I would see if your painter could color match and panel paint the hood and deck. If not you would have to blend in the tops of the fenders and quarters with the hood and decklid. There are a few shops around here that I have seen this done and when done properly you would be hard pressed to tell anything was done.
Love that color BTW  I know some people say they are only original once but you need to preserve them to protect them from further deterioration. Even the greatest works of art are touched up and preserved so why not our cars?

Re: How would you touch-up this survivor's paint?
No good way to touch that up gently. You should probably think about reshooting it if you want it to look better. Wax will help preserve it, but it won't help the looks.

Re: How would you touch-up this survivor's paint?
If you pick the right shop they should be able to shoot the hood & have it to were you can't tell. I would shoot another hood & save that original paint hood.

Your Camaro was registered not too long after my brothers 67! It had to be registered after 3/31/67...as his is earlier in the sequence of letters.

Re: How would you touch-up this survivor's paint?
The car was originally purchased at a dealership in Compton, CA. I believe the car was first sold 07/26/1967 and the first registration was 08/24/67
