Which color???

**full_360** · 05-04-2010, 10:34 PM

Hey guys I'm fighting myself on which color to paint my Camaro. Its either the stock color which is Navy Blue Metallic or like a Hugger Orange type. I'll be doing the labor so pulling any thing to make this car seem it came like that from factory is no problem.... Which way would you guys go????? Thanks!!!

If you are willing to ditch the black zr-1's for chrome I say go for hugger orange if you have the time and money. Lets face it our z-28's aren't exactly collector cars w/ value relying on oem authenticity.

yeah I have a set of chrome zr1's and a set of c5 z06's gray in color. I want something different but clean so an orange color can give some of the features of the car.

This may be a lil biased but I say go with black! Nothing looks better than a black SS!

Black is a nice color but thats at the bottom of my list, and my cousin has a black camaro and it looks really good. its because black is just to black....

They may look nice but theyre a bitch to look nice. I say go hugger orange and be different. plus you can pull off the whistler, berger mods much better than on blue. I'd say keep it stock but it's obvious you're looking for new direction.

this is a pretty bad ass ride in hugger orange. http://www.gmhightechperformance.com.../photo_01.html

Yeah I think I'm going with orange. You can add little details to car and you can notice more features of the car rather than the blue.....

I wasn't aware there is a two mode process for camaros

My car has 4 modes.

Cleaner than clean
Dusty from sitting in the garage
Real Dusty from driving it around the block
Muddy from taking it to the car wash down the street and returning without drying it there.

I haven't really looked at any other colors.... the only thing thats going to bug me of painting it orange would be that I have tan interior.....

the tan may not look too bad with orange

**full_360** · 05-06-2010, 12:35 AM

I bet Black would look better.. So I was looking at other colors like red...

**BLK2KSS** · 05-06-2010, 12:46 AM

i think a deep/dark red would look awesome. like a that black cherry color, i think its called.

**full_360** · 05-06-2010, 11:38 AM

Its sucks Because I already have a red 3rd gen T/A I just cant make up my mind but mind is set towards the orange. I just want my car to look clean as if it came out of the factory.....

**Superwoody** · 05-06-2010, 12:02 PM

Maybe try a color like this. This is "ZWEEET" vert he was/is selling, a very sweet color.

**Y2KPewterSS** · 05-06-2010, 12:57 PM

If I were to ever repaint my car, I would have it done in the same factory color or do a candy type color. One extreme or the other for me. I just don't see the point in having the car painted a different factory option color.

Yeah, I can see that. You could do a custom color like a T/A I saw on here that is similar to this factory shade only more "candy" if that makes since.

Yes, I know which one you are referring too and it looks great. I just think if you are going to change the color, and have the entire car painted to match(engine bay, door jams, everything) go all out and do a really nice custom color, not just another color you could have had from the factory. Thats just me though.

**full_360** · 05-06-2010, 02:21 PM

what if I just primer it and leave it like that

Thats what I was thinking painting it like some sort of candy style paint. In my area there is nothing but suv's and trucks that have nothing but candy paint jobs... I think those colors don't fit the persona of these cars....
