So you guys wanna help me pick a new color for my 3rdgen? ........ :)
i have my mind set of one type of color, and thats in the orange spectrum of colors ... so many oranges id like to pick from!
i want to be different but unique at the same time i just want something that really flows on a 3rdgen camaro and makes peoples jaws drop, like one of those cars you see with a super nice paint job you cant keep your eyes off of, you guys got any ideas? Maybe pics?
heres one of the types of colors i had in mind

I really like the Sunburst Orange Metallic GM is using on the Cobalt (may be on other cars too, but that's where I saw it first)
Unfortunatly this pic doesn't do it justice, looks sweeet in person

I think that C5 up top looks hot!! I'd say do a nice bright orange like that, with a slight amount of either gold or orange pearl on top of it...to give it a slight color change effect.
Thanks everyone else for the compliments on my car too

Me and one of my buddies went to one of the local auto shows and were trying out different new cars when I had fallen in love w/ this color on the new vette! Excuse my buddy in the car but this is the only picture that really shows the true color! Everyone say Hi Peter!

Car: too many ...
Tangelo is very nice. Friends cousin has a fullsize truck with bags and rims and its painted Tangelo, I think it looks nicer than my SOM on my 91 Z28. I actually hate my green color on my IROC. Thats why I dont mind rubbing it up on walls and stuff at Drift Session hahaha. It didnt come out like how I wanted. I was trying to get as close to Fairway Green Metallic as possible (S10 and C5 OEM color), but I totally screwed up. Thats what I get for going cheap. I'm gonna repaint that car soon as I crash it a good one. I got 91-92 GFX waiting to go on, but gonna wait untill I rip up the 89 GFX first. And when I do the GFX swap, I'm also putting on the '82 SMC hood and its getting repainted hotrod flat black inside and out. Flat black because its a full time drift car now (gave up on the other chassis), and I wanna be able to re-spray and easily match the bodycolor after crashing. But I'm keeping green in the family, I got a thing for green. It'll end up on one of my cars ...

GM made two colors that are basically the same as in those pics. Sunset orange metalic and Hugger orange.
Here is my buds SOM SS. It is a great color and I think it looks great on Crazy's car.

Nothing quite sticks out like bright yellow. It's a real eye catcher. I love the yellow they put on the newer vettes.
