I just bought an 85 camaro and am planning to paint it soon after I get a few parts. I definitely want to paint it blue but I'm not sure exactly what color. If you've got a blue camaro please post a picture of your car, the name of the particular color and company that made it(PPG, dupont, etc.).

this is the ultra mettalic blue offered for Z28's in '91.
not sure exactly what company makes it but i want to say it was ppg. sure it wouldn't be that hard to find out if you were interested in it...if these pictures dont do it for you, just click my cardomain page there's alot more pictures there

i got the almost factory light blue(tinted A little bit darker, but you cant tell unless you see the door jams) on my car (83 model year) the clear is chipping so its not looking as good as i like but the cars in the pic, And it has fadded just a bit. however if you notice, only the hood/roof/spoiler of the car's clear coat is chipping can you say ?

My paint is close to the stock 91 color that was already posted, It's called Lauterdale Blue Mettalic by Dupont... Here is a pic

and do you by any chance have any plans for getting the '91/'92 ground effects??? that would be a nice addition to an '85

Also, you could search google and take a look at omnipotentgoku's gallery here

If i ever paint up my car i think it would be the same blue as bluezee's and grab some of the 90s style GFX and maybe do a metalic silver on them. And maybe the same silver for some racing stripes.

Jeff that looks nice. i like the deepness in the blue

benscool1

Yup its a hard top. And I've already found a guy around here that said he'll sell me his GFX from his 92 RS but I'll still need a front bumper cover and front piece. BAD91CamaroRS, do you know how much your paint cost? That looks like about what I'm looking for.

I believe I payed about 60 for a quart of the basecoat when I had to do the engine bay and then whatever the clear costs

that looks grey to me....maybe i'm color blind though

kubus_stroinski

dupont paint. cant remember the color but i remember its a GM blue and its somewhere around ocean blue and midnight blue...

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

you say that's a GM blue? kinda looks almost exactlylike mine which was a factory color in '91 called ultra metallic blue....maybe that's what yours is?

phess11

It is a blue/grey.

Here is another look at the same paint color on a different car. Mine is fairly dull and needs to be painted.

kubus_stroinski

BlueZee28, my color isnt original, i just had it repainted from that original light baby blue color. i just picked a gm blue color that i liked. it might be the same...

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

yea it definatly looks similar...does it change to a DEEP blue almost purpleish color when at night and under flourescent bulbs?

mine does that and when it's in direct sunlight at different angles you get a bright baby blue color like this...

BAD91CamaroRS

Blue Zee my paint does the color change too, but it is a little darker than the stock color.

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

ahh that's cool. there's a '91 or '92 Z28 convertible almost like mine in my home town that is darker blue than mine it's almost a royal blue...only thing is i dont think it's metallic...still looks really great though

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

ahhh cargasm

kubus_stroinski

mine definately does the color change and the car looks the sweetest at night in a dark parking lot. it just seems to glow... i dont know how to describe it but it is the nicest blue ive ever seen in person. props on your blue bluezee28

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

roc city f body

KillerRS

that picture gives it no justice, its a beatiful color in person, i bought the body like it is in the picture, and when i first saw the color i loved it.

BAD91CamaroRS

So you got any updates on this thing yet ??????

Painted two stage clearcoat with origional GM coded formula, Medium Royal Blue B8304 RPO 27. No wet sanding yet, may just get a polish, very very light orange peel. Just sprayed on 10/18/05. Haven't even seen it with sunlight but it flashes a lot of red or violet with some green. It's a pretty cool color.

Different pix, but it's what your car would look like with that new paint job if you stay true to the GM color. GM B8304 rpo 27 There seems to be a difference between the 83 and 84. The 83 flashes a lot of violet/red and green. I didn't see that in the 84 color, but this has a clearcoat and the origional was waterbase.

benscool1

Here's mine. Not sure what the name of the color actually is but now that I've seen the car when its clean and in the daytime I kinda like it. BTW, is there a site that I can decode the VIN number to figure out all the info on my car?

Another look, the hood scoops are going to be painted trim black intead of the vinyl stickers. The headlight buckets will be trim black also. Then I'm going with a light metalic silver on the rocker trim so that it does not take away from the blue. I just dont know what to do about rims, $100 bucks each to refurbish these, chrome? brushed aluminum? I kind of like the Cragar 390's. You can see them at Les Schwab.com old school but pretty nice, but they're chrome also.

Here are your choices for stock 85 colors.

phess11

Lookin' good!!!!

I know 83 and 84 had the exact same color. I do think that mine (from Norwood plant) was a little lighter then others I have seen. This blue color has a problem with flaking off the primer with direct exposer to sun light. Mine did. The under panels (below the door edge guard) did not flake. I am hoping clear coat will solve this problem.

I love the color though.

Camaro_nut

Original style paint color. Dont' know the code. Recently
repainted in '99,'00 and is being "retouched" in the body
shop right now.

Kevin84Z28

iTrader: (3)

Those old paints were water based. What they use now even with the clearcoat is totally different. There should not be a problem with any flaking from sun exposure.

KillerRS

I like the color
