Re: Paint job

Dark blue looks good on our cars. Or if you like rally stripes, Id paint the car black with gray stipes.

Re: Paint job

I'm looking to be notice but with something I wouldn't mind driving on the regular.I like a bright yellow but I couldn't drive everyday. I was looking toward candy red but it is way to expensive.$5500

Re: Paint job

Candy red would be nice, I saw a really nice metallic blue the other day. I also like the yellow idea haha. The candy red would be a nice head turner

Re: Paint job

I would stick with the factory paint Pete but its that funny looking green. There's so many colors I just don't know the exact name off them to tell the paint shop.

Re: Paint job

Sunset Orange from the 4th gen camaro would look nice. Cyber Grey Metallic from the 5th gen with some stripes would also look killer.

Re: Paint job

The orange looks good.

Don't underestimate the amount of effort changing colours. The devil is in the detail and there are a thousand places to paint.

Maybe go to a differnet shade of green to minimise the difference. I like solid colors, so maybe the lime green?
