ok im torn between a glossy black and viper yellow???? black cars are mean lookin but its gonna sooooo hard to make it look right (lots of hail damage) its silver now and looks pretty good but im sure that everyone on here has seen the BEST looking color for a thirdgen....

thanks for all the help
matt:rockon:

I'd go with black. What's your interior color?

Oh, and your sig, I think someone said Camaro is a French word meaning friend or companion something like that.

Is it a camaro or a firebird? I'd probly say to get viper yellow, and the glossy black would be good to. Hey you can't go wrong, and about the "best" looking, i thik everyone would give ya a diff answer.

I am with Black over yellow any day of the week on a 3rd Gen. Just make sure it is a quality black paint job. BTW Camaro = French for commrade or military friend.

I'm voting for black of course, but Viper yellow with black heritage stripes would look killer. Just an idea for ya

Back in Black...

hmm well what color of interior would look good with a black car, i was gonna get all black interior with a yellar car with black stripes

do u guys have a pic of the "heritige" stripes??? i dont think ive see dem

matt:rockon:

How about gloss black with viper yellow stripes:hail:

I'm sure you've seem them, but you probably didn't know that they had a name. Here's the only pic of a car with heritage stripes I have on my PC so far. I'm in the process of downloading all the pics I can.

I'd have to say I like my color the best.

i hit the sack
its been so long i'm glad to be back
yes, i'm dead loose
from the noose
thats kept me hanging above all you's
looking at the sky, cuz its getting me high
forget the hearse cuz i'll NEVER DIE........................


sorry, i just had to

No doubt...black.

I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild

Cause I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black

I just couldn't let you stop there.

Silver silver and silver......

But if I have to choose between black and yellow....

Yellow with black headlight sockets and black stripes on the bottom of the car. (look at my pic for the stripes)

Yellow with the black heritage stripes.

Black with really small yellow stripes along the bottom of the car (see pic again)

so many possibilities.....not enough car to test upon...

dark metallic teal :-)

I've always wanted to paint my cars black, but I think they would look too dirty too often...black looks great when it's clean and shiny but when it's not it looks pretty bad....so I vote for the Yellow w/Black Stripes.

I'd go with the black...I dont really like super bright colors like yellow. For me Imma paint my car gunmetal.

Dont get prowler orange, it looks horrible on 3rd gens :lala:

I agree.

Another annoying thing is when you post a picture of your car in nearly every thread, related or not.

Hey now, Im not that bad, I atleast post it when it relates.

I have noticed some people who just upload a pic for the hell of it when it TOTALLY doesnt relate.

and there is no pic of my car in the post, you all know the color.

BLACK!!!!!!!!!
the word CAMARO means "fill this f**ker up again!"

You need to copy this color...carndrvr's car (sp?). The most beautiful thirdgen on this green earth.

Nuttin shines like Black

Once you go black, you never go back! Trust me, I KNOW!!

"ImportRS" I am afraid to ask just "How do you know"?

Anyway BLACK on BLACK in BLACK if you want to look MEAN. Trust me I know too. Just prepare to be a detail expert because you will be cleaning your car a lot.:hail:

Black loos cheap and all the paint, dent and etc problems show. It's too cheap a color, too many on street. Yellow is distinct and rare and looks great on original factory type jobs. Andy

If I had to choose between black and yellow, I'd definitely choose black... I'm not to keen about yellow on any car. If it was a Camaro, put silver striping along the ground effects (like on an IROC). If it was a Firebird, just go completely black.

Silver is also another nice-looking color but I think it looks best on a Firebird with a little bit of metal-flake... very unique.

Out of all the ThirdGen colors that I've seen, I'd have to say that I like my color the best . It's called "IROC Blue" and to my knowledge, the shade has changed over the years -- my particular shade was used for the 1985-86 model years.

(Ignore my rusted tailpipes, I've replaced those since that picture was taken...)

A Cheap color? I see yellow cars all the time.


Doormatt, go with whatever you like best

Hugger or Prowler orange..I have two black cars right now and I've had 4 all together. I do like black but when I do get another thirdgen I plan on painting it hugger orange and if it's a Z28 possibly white stripes. I see black cars all the time even though they look great i'd like to have something different myself.

I love my balck car but you can look up Maniaac, he has a Sunset Orange looking car and it looks good.

Here are some of my other choices:
Electron Blue (C5 Corvette)
Sebring Silver (C5 Corvette)
Torch Red (C4 Corvette?)

black

Baaaaamm!

YELLOW!! seriously why go with what everyone says, be different and get yellow! If you have seen the mean yellow Z, you will know what I am talking about.

What about BLACK :rockon: or black with yellow heriatage stripes?

Black

wow...that pics really really makes me want to paint my car black.

I'm biased, but I vote for hunter green. Green means go, and go means fast.

[B]YELLOW!





See sig DoorMatt!

There is no certain best looking color, the best color on a thirdgen is what that owner wants, i had a red thirdgen and i liked it, but i wrecked it, then i just happened to buy a black formula, they that got wrecked (someone hit me this time), and now i just happened to buy this car and that is black, when i look to buy a car i dont really mind the color, i look at condition and options stuff like that.

As long as it is a thirdgen, i love them no matter what color.

Pannyless... get that girl off the hood she might scratch it up. haha between yellow and black I would go with black. But the 91-92 metallic dark red is my fav on a third gen.

3rdGens look best in White, Black and Silver. Any other color I'd have to judge on a car-by-car basis. I had a black IROC vert and it was a pain to keep clean. White is a lot easier to maintain . . .

Black is a pain to keep up, if you have a garage AND a car cover paint it black.

I'm particular to white myself, cause I have a white car....but the latest issue of Super Chevy magazine has a 1990 blue iroc that is one of the meanest lookin cars ever. I would definetely go with that blue!

and the the above singing of Back in Black......AC/DC RULES!!!!!!

white only with stripes or somthin just straight up looks plain

Check out the name and the sig that should tell ya.

... fade to black...

i like competiton yellow,tahts what mine is,im repainting it this week,and adding black metallic flames.
