New Paint & Wheels PICS
I had posted some pics a few weeks ago of my 85 just after I had got done spraying it.
I now have rubbed out the paint (needs a little more attention in a few areas, but good enough for now), put on the emblems & belt moulding, and mounted my new AFS polished aluminum wheels last night. I know some don't like the big stripes, but I've always had a soft spot for the old SS & Z28 stripes. (last pic is the first car I painted back in '79 of my 68 SS/RS Camaro)
I took a few pics today.

Thanks for the replies. 
The color is "Tunnel Ram Gray" from Eastwood. It's their single stage urethane, but I put a couple coats of clear on it also. Most areas turned out fairly well, but there are some areas that I wish I would have spent more effort in the prep work.
The pic below was taken w/o flash so the color is fairly accurate (at least on my monitor). Until last night I had forgotten I filled in the hole for the antenna. (right around where the sunlight glare is hitting in the pic).
