Hello to all, I am new to this board. Trying to decide what color to paint my 91 Camaro RS, its currently Teal and see WAY too many around here. I am debating on either green or blue. IF anyone has a green or blue Camaro could you post some pics. for me to view so I can see how they both look????? Thanks a bunch, ~Twix~

 

i dont have any pics for u, but under this board theres posts named "show me your hood" and another "cool photos please"............ they have a bunch of pics for what your lookin for.

 

:hail:

 

Black

But you asked for blue or green, and I like both, especially polo green. If you repaint it, get it done right though and paint the engine bay and door jambs.

 

I also have a teal 91 rs that i want to paint. I color of choise though is silver. If i where you i would go with the green as blue is also a very common color

 

Well searched thru a few topics, NO green cars. A lot of blue though, so looks like it will more than likely be green as I'm looking for something a little different & eye catching. Yes it will be done right, under the hood will be getting gutted so all that can be done.

 

is this green enough for you, gotta love polo green
this is DABE's car i cant find the pics of mine, i dont have t-tops

 

that looks good

 

check out my car. It is viper blue with white racing stripes.

I have a few pics here www.cardomain.com/id/bluegrassz

 

Maui blue.

 

At first I wasn't to sure about the color,
but now I love it! Smurf ya later.

 

i like it... smurf ya later... lol

 

Maui Blue? Ohhh man that's awesome. I put that in my list for possible colors, saw one driving down the road (done poorly) and sort of scratched it off; but it's definately back on. Awesome car, awesome color.

when we painted mine the color was a-cayman metallic blue from a 72 ford. its pretty much teal but its got metallic in it that really makes it shine in the sun but my pictures were taken on crappy days. I kept it this color so my car will be a sleeper when i build the motor for it. The motor will lope a little with the cam i chose but then people dont know who they are racing.

 

Really Really like this blue color.....

But i like the teal color better......

 

Sorta like the Maui Blue........

 

Some more blue for ya.........

I vote for staying the stock color of teal......

 

how much are you looking to spend........i really like this green. but i'm partial to candies........

 

here's a nice color scale..........

 

Thanks so much for all the pictures. I do like that green, but its probably out of my budget.

as for staying with teal vs. not staying with Teal, I'm fixing to start showing it Locally (after a few more mods) and well Teal is just tooo common around here. I want something different and something thats eye-catching. There are 6 or 7 Teal Camaros around here that I know of and have seen, so no telling how many more I haven't seen yet.

 

green RS...thanks for the intro....

heres probally a better pic of the polo green...





its got some metallic flakes in it...its really a cool color..when u are next to 2 black cars...mine looks black...

BTW...my car as 126XXXmiles on it...and thats the original paint...

Black is always the best choice if u cant make up your mind. its cheaper than color paint too so u can throw some pearl in it or put some stripes on.

 

another black one

 

but u want blue or green so like a viper blue or somthing. some guy on here has a really super sweet paint job on his camaro with that viper blue. ill try to find it.

 

the blue that i really like is the new chevy trailblazer Indigo Blue Metallic, i think that would look badass on a camaro
bub

 

found it! its called viper gts blue pearlessent very very sweet looking. and its es87iroc's car if u want to know.

 

another

 

last one

 

this is BryanJ's car, i dont knwo what the paint is called but it does look nice. it's a darker blue. sorry for no green car pics but im partial to black and blue.

 

actually, paint isn't that expensive depending on your choices.

what's your price range realistically and i can tell you exactly what you range is.

remember that a color change is most expensive because of matching the engine bay, door jambs, etc.

if you don't want to do these little parts don't think about showing the car anywhere.

 

:hail:

 

a BUNCH of nice lookin Camaro's here! Well....just thought I'd mine...it's a black one....but..I have to paint the hood next spring.

 

Okay the more pics I'm getting the more I'm like blue, especially the viper blue. Decisions decisions!! LOL!! Budget isn't exactlly decided yet, gonna TRY to get it painted in spring/summer and will just have to see how money is then. ALL of the car will be painted, engine bay, door jams, I'm real big on stuff "matching". So a teal engine bay with viper blue paint on car I'LL PASS!

 

so your looking on average of 3,500-5,000 for the paint then if your going to do a complete color change and make it look good.


well, you can get just about any reasonable color in that price range....

good luck with it!

 

hey kandied, can i ask u how much ur paint cost to be done?
bub

 

Nothing beats the shine of black

 

Dang that black paint is flawless wow i like the clean black look:hail:

 

That's a reflection???? Dear G0D! :hail:

 

Hey, I just felt the need to touch up your picture a bit. Hope you like it.

 

I've always loved this combination: Maui Blue with white rims.

 

to do a good candy paint job in my area the minimum is an average of 15,000.... i certainly didn't pay that much, but it was 5 figures.

you get what you pay for....

 

Well its a toss b/t the viper blue with white racing stripes OR green (not sure what shade) with tribal flames. Gotta get a hood to install my blisters in, get a new left front fender (mine has previous damage to it before I got it) Looking for a 4th gen. console and seats. Lots to do....


Paint me & my fiance will be doing all the labor so it will be a tad cheaper then if I went to a body shop and had it done. So that saves me some $$$$.

 

yeah, i hate to think what i would have paid leaving everything to a shop....

good luck with your project.

 

wow, i had no idea that the paint job would have cost that much....i thought like 7k tops.......but looks great anyway
bub

 

alot of it is in the prep work more than anything.........while my body was in great shape; i had quite a few little custom things done as well as it was stripped to metal and there are 7 different colors and over 12 layers of product.

it all adds up, it isn't like just sanding down your stock paint and applying a primer and solid coat with a clear that is only 3-4 layers.

not to mention the skill to keep the red clear level is very important the slightest overspray on a certain area and the color will look blotchy and uneven.........stepping up to candy is a whole nother ball game. but when it's done right man is it beautiful and a extreme eye catcher.

i don't care if you like candies or even the color red, when you drive a candy red car everyone looks.
