Re: Colors????

For me I'm thinking black.(I have so personal reasons way)But also because I love the bat,and after seeing Batman Begins,I want my next car to be black, as well as a vert. Either that,or Red w/white racing stripes like my first Camaro.(92 model)

Re: Colors????

I absolutely must have mine Red w/ Black stripes to match my 92 RS Heritage Edition! My garage will be called the Toy Box with my identical paint job 3rd and 5th gens sitting side by side

Re: Colors????

Make my 5th gen in Daytona Yellow please. If I can't have that, I want a nice, bold blue with white stripe(s), and my other choice would be Arctic White with a red interior/stripe(s) .... (stark, bright, marshmallow white - not that vanilla ice cream color they gave the Corvettes in recent years when they changed from Arctic White to Speedway White)
The color of the C5 coupe in front....not the Z06 next to the curb.

Yup, same as my '67 6-cyl convertible - GLDLOX, parked next to our friend's '67 SS - BIG SAM.

Re: Colors????

I've always liked white as long as there are enough black accents on the car, Black grille, deep tint windows, etc). Some nice black or orange stripes on white would be nice. I'd also like to see a deeper red than what they have offered lately. Black always looks good but I don't want to have to dust it or wash it every day.

Re: Colors????

Im hoping for the 69 Lemans blue with white stripes. Its offered on the current Z06 BTW I cant imagine Hugger Orange paint will be left out either seing as how it showed up all over the interior of the car.

Re: Colors????

I'm hoping the new Camaro gets some of the sweet colors the 06 GTOs are available in, I saw some pics of some very interesting shades of reds and blues on a GTO site somewhere. Will help the car to standout...

That was the color of my father's 67 Camaro SS w/ the L78 (with a black vinyl top I believe, and I was thinking a black bumblebee stripe but I don't remember). He said it was a mistake to order it in that color, it looked good nice and cleaned up but in poor light or when not shining he liked to call it "Granada Tan". Blue w/ white BB stripe is what he looking back would have liked to have ordered...

Re: Colors????

I think it would be cool to have a dark black that has a slight gray haze to it. Then throw in a bunch of silver metal flake.

Also, if it looks right on the car, a baby blue "cream puff" color would be cool as well.

Those & light pewter metallic would be the only colors I would consider...

Re: Colors????

I firmly believe the most beautiful color any car can be produced in is black. Black will show you everything from imperfections to perfect lines. In fact, my first mod will likely be black wheels with a polished lip.

Yes.

I personally would not be sad if the paint mix instructions for Pewter Metallic were lost forever.

It's a stock color called Bright Purple Metallic that was only used on the '97 and '98 Firebirds and Camaros. It's pretty darn rare, especially on the Trans Am and Z28. Don't believe a single SS was ever in that color.



From '95 to '96 there was Dark Purple metallic, which is more plum colored and 8 to 9 times more common (in other words, GM made about 8 or 9 times more in the plum color than in the indigo color).

Re: Colors????

I'd have to say that if I had to pick today I would go with black. However, if I obtain a black ls1 ws6 before then I might just have to switch to a blue if it is the right shade.

I currently have "look at me" red on my 93 camaro and I want the "get the hell out of the way" look that both the ws6 and camaro concept have while painted black. Just scary

Think I'll have enough garage space to have my 93z28, a ws6, new camaro, and a truck for winter driving... only being a few years out of college??
