So? My cars currently black, I love white GTAs, but I'm not sure how white would look on a camaro. I like black, but its kinda, I dont' know, boring, would white look better?

 

I think it looks good Black though imo looks better, that's what I'm going to whenever I get to paint the car again.

 

BLACK!!!!!!!!!!

 

black only looks good if the body is 100% straight (i.e. show quality) and the paint is kept up so that no swirl marks develop. For a driver, I'd take white every time. my white GTA always looks better than my dark green vette, because the dark green shows EVERYTHING

 

Yeah I think they both look good...but black is hard to keep clean.

 

I say BLACK, although its harder to keep clean. White just doesnt do it for me, on any car. Im a fan of that Chrysler platinum!!!

 

It annoys me that people put all cars in the same boat. I don't like white on MOST cars, but think the 3rd gens look sharp in white. Black is boring IMHO and is a nightmare to keep looking 100% Also I love the contrast you get with white. There are a handful of cars ever made that look good in white (the GT40 is one of them and the Porsche 911 Carrera another)

Make it white!

black IMO.....its sexxxxxxy! but its your car & your the one that has to see it everyday

 

I dont remember saying white looked good on 3rd gens, I said I dont like it on ANY car. :hail:

 

Well assuming either paintjob is done correctly. I saw a kids 87' GTA with fresh paint, I though the car looked SOO good. The white just went along with the car, at the same time I'm not sure how well white would go on my car. I've seen ALOT of blacks cars on here that looked great, I really can't recall many if any white cars. I don't know if its the way the picture is, but black seems to look "glossy" in pictures whereas all the white pictures I've seen look dull.

 

Don't forget also that there's more to white than just plain white. I painted the GTA a pearl white and it's a phenominal color. It's got so much more depth than regular white, and NEVER looks dirty.

 

Yea Jim, I'm sure if I saw your car in person it would look great. However guys like 84customz and a few others with new black paint and that ASCD SS hood look great. I plan on getting that same hood, and I'm not sure how white would go. I can't seem to recall anyone on here with a white camaro with new paint.

Black IMHO is a very nice color for a 3rd gen if, as mentioned earlier, your body is straight and you can keep the swirl marks out. I love the black on my car and I am starting on another 3rd gen that I am going to paint black also. Not saying that white cars aren't good-looking... I just prefer black. If I were to ever do white, I would definitely go with a pearl white.

 

At the time of this pic, the paint was about two years old and dusty from driving to Dallas from Austin.

 

If you're willing to keep it clean, go with black. A clean black car looks better than a clean white car any day IMO.

But, you can keep a white car looking clean for a lot longer than a black car. I wash and wax my car and then go for a little cruise and its dusty when I come back.

 

I know how white is easier to hide imprefection and etc etc.

But to ME, personally, when I look at a white car, and I look at a black car, the black seems to have more depth, and look better. I don't know if pearls or special whites will give that look, but RSPEED, ur car is an example, that black looks glossier and deeper then the white car posted before. Again pictures don't tell the whole truth..I don't know if anyone understands.

Sort of, the characteristic that makes black show all it's faults etc, also means if its done right that is seems to show it's beauty better as well.

 

Just the words I was looking for earlier.

 

BLACK ALL THE WAY

Granted, it IS a PITA to keep up, BUT, if the body is straight and you keep it waxed, it's BAD @$$

 

White, but it has to be the right white.
Heres my old 86.

 

Black is the way to go, then again, I guess I am kind of bias.

 

i like white, but the headlight pockets have to be black IMO



hmmm guess ya have to click the link

 

Black........White is to bland. Mine is white and I am changing to black real soon......

 

white is too discret, but thats good sometimes..

 

Daytime is not when white shows off it's depth of shine. Which is 'better' for looks is all a matter of opinion only. Realistically, white is better for reflecting heat on hot sunny days. Black is better during winter days that the sun it out. You can argue back in forth about which is beter untill you're blue in the face, it's still just opinion. Paint the car the color you think you will be most happy with in the long run, not based on peoples opinions, unless they are willing to pay for the paint-job.
As light gets less on white is when it starts to show off. Below is a contrast. The truck is one I painted awhile back but shows white with direct light and more depth with a shadow cast on it. My bird is in the garage and shows how nice white can reflect in dark light.
That's just my opinion though

 

Simple soultion... buy one of each

White is just as nice as black. I think white looks best at night. Here's mine in the day though.

 

BLACK ALL THE WAY! It looks cool all the time, day or night! I love cruising at night in my car. It does tend to get dirty faster, but you can't beat the look. I even put limo tint on the side and rear windows and it looks SWEEEEEEET!

 

black + 3rd gen = :hail:

 

Since your car is already black, I'd keep it black. Either is sharp though. In a weird way, I think it'd depends on the quality of the paint job, black has got to be done right. You can fudge a white paint job and not know it, but you'd be in big trouble with a fudged black paint job.

 

when in doubt.... go to red

 

Yeah, every cop in a 10 mile radius will be following your butt all over town! Cops love red!

 

ive never been pulled over....




























ok but i never got a ticket and I got pulled over more in my green taurass. Red is the shiz... you all know it, you just cant handle it.

 

Naw, dark blue with silver ground effects is the shiz! Here's a pic of my t/a, its getting re-painted the same color:


BTW, i vote black if you wont go with dark blue/silver!
