Question for Ryane

What color is that on your Camaro? It looks like it is a 4th gen color. I am painting mine this summer and my wife likes that color (gotta keep her happy so I can keep getting parts!). Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info. We are looking at spraying it the dark burgandy that the 4th gens use. Right now it is a very faded dark red metallic. Thanks again.

it looks to me like the stock color that they used on 91's it was called dark metallic red.......same thing i had on mine before the paint change. they changed the 92 color with a different metallic and it wasn't as "sparkly" still called the same though.

here's an old pic of my car with the stock dark metallic red. at night or in poor light it would look dark like the above car and in bright sunlight it would like like my pic.

i don't know whos car this is, but i hope they don't mind me using it. otherwise let me know and i'll remove it.

it may very well be a custom color, but if you had to pick a stock color that was offered the dark metallic would be it. the color never looks the same twice.

here's another car with same color notice how it's alot darker in this pick than it was in mine.

if it's a custom color, then you would need to know the exact mix.

the 4thgen burgandy doesn't have as much metallic in it as the color that was offered for the late model 3rdgen like on my 91. it's all preference.

Here is the 86 Flame Red Metallic. It looks different, too.

I actually really like this colour, until it gets dusty. Then it just looks dull and lifeless--almost brown and with no depth.
