Did my firebird dark met blue,but i ad some pearl it lighten it up a little bit. Its a cool color but show dirt real fast. Last sat i spend 2 hours cleaning it and glazeing it. went out by the time i got home did not look like i washed in a few days.I'm going to do my camaro some shade of silver. don't see to many of them.

NICE JET BLACK? U talking about the color on my car?

RSpeed

Black is always a nice color for a sports car.

kretos

i'd also suggest gunmetal grey, i've never seen it on a camaro

irocz eric

I'm assuming u meant gunmetal gray...but another color u dont see much is yellow. i've seen a couple yellow thirdgens and they look good.

kretos

sorry yeah gunmetal grey

Aredross

Emerald looks pretty cool
in fact theres a camaro in town with that color and its for sale

yellows cool but man little to bright for me. But it does look good with black. I did a chevelle in gunmetal did not really car for it.Butit was single stage paint and i tried to wet sand it. So i think I might have messed it up.Its hard picking colors i hate doing it. If u start looking at paint books it gets even harder.

black is my favorite!!! but, there are just as many black thirdgen's as there is red. If you want to stand out your gonna have to go with an extreme color like burnt orange or chameleon. but, I don't see why you don't like the red. red screams "im gonna beat you"! why don't you just throw some pearl or metal flake in the red and call it a day

I know you said you do not want red, but there is a 04 mazda color called velocity red mica...it is a really awesome color, and then you would not have to paint your jams.

Dude, that blue you always told me about, do it that color. OR, you could paint it a gun metal/silver mix sorta deal. But whatever, your car will still be nice

PS. Email me bud

Air_Adam

Plum Crazy would be cool... and very unique

...maybe Go Mango, or Hemi Orange....

(If you can't tell, I like Mopar colors )

Check the colors on the latemodel chevy trucks, Saw one of the new chevys(avalanche?) about a week ago that was the most bitchin dark blue I have ever seen.

How about a combo in between black and gunmetal like charcoal. I wish I still had a pic of it, but I rarely see that color on any car. Thats color I want.

PHAT89TA

how bout viper steel grey pearl.

British Racing Green? I dunno...dont see many third gen camaros that color, might look nice.....
Metalic blue would be cool.....yellow maybe.....

megaracerx

i say paint it the same color...its looks good like that...maybe some flames to accent? i dunno how much detail you'll get for free though

CaysE

You're getting the ENTIRE car painted for free cause your fender got dented?

chevyrumble83

lol ya..they did not want to go through insurance so i took her to my friends body shop and got a quote lol

thanks for all the ideas but i think i might be going with my orignal choice (blue) pic below of the blue i would get(almost the same as my firebird).

these are my choices in order, what do u guys think is the best colour of the 3??
1. blue>same as in pic
2. black
3.metalic red

Aredross

Id have to go with your mother...........................nah im just screwing with ya

Black if its done right (one guy on here painted his black and it was friggen awesome I mean you could see his entire yards reflection in detail on his fender)
or blue dont care much for red

FirebirdNYC

BROWN!, thats unique , im kidding

123jon321

That got me to thinking. How about like the stock paint on my old '80 firebird? Two tone, top half of the car brown, bottom gold, eh? EH?

Aredross

are you isane? that would look like a turd dipped in gold J/k well I wouldnt like it

USA_Rally

that blue does look good!

Good job, you just nailed it on the head and with the eloquence of a poet I might add

You must be really good friends with the shop guys. Changing color on a third gen is a chore, especially looking at the under hood deal. Me, I'd leave it red, your car looks great especially with the wheels.

camaro88sc

i say the blue cuz it has been one of my favorite colors ever since i saw that car on cardomain last december. But remember the thing that makes that car though is the white stripes, but the Metalic Saphire Blue is still sweet.

black85iroc

our racecar is "redbull blue" and yes its the same color as the can, i love it, and if i wasnt in love with black cars thats the color i would go.


it looks *real* good shined up!

USA_Rally

my motto is if you want a blue car then buy a blue car. changing colors is not my thing, i would change colors if i was going to go with something real unique. but to change it from racing red to blue, i'd just go get a blue maro.

CaysE

British Racing Green sounds like an interesting idea. But aside from that, I say keep it red.

Just be aware that changing colors is a pain in the butt. You must remove everything including the engine to get it really right. Areas like inside the mirror, water wells, hatch recessed areas, running boards, firewall, etc. will always tell that you did a color change unless you remove everything and go to the frame before painting. Plus as the car gets older and you get more paint chips it starts to be a pain to cover them up. Red is such a hot color I say just add pearl or stripes or flames.

badjuju342

blue! but with silver stripes like mine

chevyrumble83

Metallic green top with sahara tan lower. Divide it up with some silver airbrushed stripes down the sides.Add some Boze Stingers and you got a show stopper!
