Car: 1987 Iroc-Z Engine: 355 Transmission: 700r4 w/ about 7500 miles on rebuild | What Color to Paint!
This is a post about what colors of paints we have. A lot of people ask for pics of certain colors on our cars... So I figured we could use a sticky with everyone posting every color that we all have.
Here are the rules:
1. Post only non-chipped, non-faded paint (i.e. brand new or perfect stock low mileage)
2. Post a clear picture so you can see the detail.
3. No at night pictures with light on them.
4. Give us the INFO! The color, the brand, who did it, how long it was gone to whoever you had do it (or if you did it yourself, how long did it take you?)!
Now post your pics!

Car: 92 Camaro (R)eally(S)tock Engine: 305 TBI Transmission: Auto 700r4 | I have always love JeffW's and 87TPI.
I think maybe i want my car to be like JeffW's but with purple and have that same saturation of that blue.
Or I would like Flame or Brilliant Red | |

| We have 2 - 3rd Gen's in the Family. Mine is black
and my Daughters is Met silver. Neither color is
overly exciting.
We are going to paint my Daughters car Bahama blue
with a LG (light green) variant. You have no idea
just how beautiful this PPG paint is. I just painted
my 69 chevelle with this paint and I will tell you that
it'll stop traffic. The brilliant translucent blue just throbs
and glows.
When we get her car done I'll have her post a picture
of it.  | |

Or I would like Flame or Brilliant Red | the more coats of the cobalt candy the more purple it gets. mine had 4 coats so maybe 6 would get a purple hue and the base makes a difference also i have a blue base coat on the car before the candy. Purple pearl could also be added to get a more purple look. Hok paints are great to play with and mix n match. they all work together for the most part as long as you follow the tech manual. silver base on right blue base on left

Wish I had a better pic, but that'll have to wait I guess..
The color is Dupont's Vivid Canary Yellow. I did it myself in probably 1.5 months.. Only working a couple nights a week and long weekends.. Had the car completely apart since the car wasn't originally yellow and the first time I painted it, it was a quick splash job.
Cheers,

Car: 87 Formula, 91 RS Engine: TPI 305, TBI 305 Transmission: struggling t-5's Axle/Gears: 3.08/3.23 | The turd.... painted '89 T/A white (will insert paint code here next time I'm in the garage).
Self painted.. PPG base & PPG2021 clear (or maybe 2024.. been awhile since I've done any painting.. I'll edit this part, too.. lol).
Years and counting.. & still not done. Actual main panel/body painting was done over the course of a few weekends, done in spare time. Might change it yet again before it's all over...

Car: 2002 SS Engine: Ls1 Transmission: T56 Axle/Gears: 3:42 posi | Pearl white
Pearl white paint, i did all the body work myself, my dads work painted it as a side job.. id say it took me 3 months here and there to get the body work right where i wanted it considering i had to replace the passenger fender, new light buckets, Weld all the holes shut from the tail cause i have the z28 spoiler, had to mold on my cowl for temporary untill i get a bolt on fiberglass, and finally shave the antenna.. i love the paint tho : ) it shines up nice... i cant give a night pic but thats when the pearl is like whoa!!
