Re: Gunmetal/ dark gray paintjobs?
Yeah they all look great. Im definantly set on painting this color now. Looks real nice with blackouts and this color!

Re: Gunmetal/ dark gray paintjobs?
The blackouts looked great with this color. Wish I still had them. Have you decided on the paint code your going to go with? There are many shades of gray. The paint you see on my car is Macco paint...ugly. I don't know if they tried to match the color my car was originally(gunmetal metallic), but they did a horrible job, not even close to original. I will be painting it a darker gray though.

Re: Gunmetal/ dark gray paintjobs?
Frozer, did you get your car painted? I should be getting mine back either at the end of this week or beginning of next. I went with Dark Shadow Gray. Will post up new pictures after the F-Body Gathering in Atlanta.

Re: Gunmetal/ dark gray paintjobs?
Nice rides and nice paint jobs guys. My only problem with my paint: Midnight Sand Gray Metallic, with silver gfx and striping; other than the fact that I need a whole new paint job, is people think the car is black!
I often have to correct people saying it is a dark charcoal gray.

Re: Gunmetal/ dark gray paintjobs?
58Mark, nice man! It came out clean looking. Browsed through your thread in the camaro section when you were still deciding which paint scheme to go with.
I never did post up some pictures of the car after the gathering so here they are...

Re: Gunmetal/ dark gray paintjobs?
Seeing someone brought this thread back up. Here's a picture of mine with rough paint when I first got it, I'm hoping to get it repainted same/similar color once I get it back from mechanic.
