Catfish is the late 4th gen Camaro. It's an anteater because anteaters have two holes on the end of their snout. Maybe pig nose would be better.
This looks like a Catfish.

So........ yest i was literally about to have a heart attack and lose it.........
THE WHITES ARE OFF!!!!!
Now before you all go and say " well why didnt u test spray it willie??" If you can remember in a few posts of mine back i had used the Bring white #0568 on the under hood and that seemed to be a good match. Well when i went to order the paint, they ended up getting me a different bright white part number but assured me that it was correct #0433 i believe it was. Now this is the my bad part where i should of took it home and test sprayed it, but as i was spraying it didnt look that different untill i started mocking the parts up to see how it would look......
now im left with 2 options here
1. respray everything...... booo....
2. I can respray the fenders only to match what is on the car and leave the bumper and door panel the way it is for now.... maybe fix in the spring. now it didnt look to bad wiyth the bumper abd panel but since the fenders were part of the body line i at least have to make that right......
Soooooo.... next week im going to fix at least one fender for now and then clearcoat everything..... i only need one fender because the other one isnt damaged so i guess ill just do that for now.....

You could have bought mixed paint for less than you spent on rattle cans, this is why I asked earlier if you compared. White is not an easy color to butt-match either.

I had priced the paint out and the 2 places I had went to wanted 40$ a half pint and that was just in paint not reducer or clearcoat so all in all we were lookin at around 400+I needed to buy a gun. This way only costed me about 150. Oreillys is gonna give me the other white part number n what I need to fix the fenders for now. Seein as how the fenders are alreadywhite, I wont need much to change the shade of white on the fenders I'm thinkin 3 cans max

ok so now that i gotta wait till next week to finish painting, i can prob go over some of the lil things that i have done on the car to fix it up.....
So i did new ALT with rewire and zzp volt booster & added a new 99^ Bottle i found at the Yard and bought for 5$
I added new NGK Wires & V power copper plugs. i also wire brushed all the terminals on the coil packs and cleaned them up pretty good.
So the exhaust right now as it sits is SD Headers, 3 in downpipe, cat delete, stock res which is going to be a glasspack here eventually, Stock catback to Flowmaster 44 series 2 1/2 mustang muffler. Now i know what everyone is going to say that the drone is horrible and too loud but i fixed that. i added a seperate 9in extension pipe that i have clamped on right now(still need to weld up) and then a temp tip i had laying around. It literally killed almost all of the drone andisnt that loud on cold start nomore either.
put these on my front wind shield.....love tasteful stickers.
i do have an AEM fuel pump i just dont have a pic of that...
I also did 3 in CAI w/ shield and added pcm tray from a blazer and put that on... I think it worked out pretty good..
when i finish this paint job on the car ill end up touchin up some of the spots left in the engine bay with white paint.
my SD headers that fit pretty decent on install. had to custom a few things to get them to fit but it wasnt too bad...
i
i Also did a valve gasket job and painted the covers while i did this.. i know it was pretty pointless since im going to topswap, but they were leaking bad so it had to get done asap
theres still more front what else u can see in photos too but mainly its just been a cleanup job and repair to get it running right now and cleaned up...
