I vote Pewter.... but I'm biased.
Either pewter or some kind of burnt orange (ex. sunset orange metallic)

Think about the overall look you are going for the car......then pick a color from there
For example
Black w/ red stripes would look stupid on my car......whereas it looks badass on a stock bodied Z28

I think t-top cars look best in light colors, especially white, and hardtops look best in darker colors. Polo green, black, and pearl white are among my favorites.
Supreme Member
I love teal
. Black, white, and royal blue are my all time favorites. I lean more towards royal blue.

kandy in any color is the way to go although it isn't very daily driver friendly...

Polo green rocks! Has the darkness of a black car and metallic green in the sun!

yeah i miss my dark green one i used to have...it was awesome but i dont wanna do it that color again, ive had it. i just cant decide where i want to go with this car
can we get some more pictures of colors as i have a hard time picking with out some examples
i was thinking of either a blue to green color change paint or maybe a midnight blue, i dunno i think i wanna stay with a shade of blue but then again i like that metallic orange color and that vivid blue example is awesome. i wanna see some candy color examples as well

this pic doesnt do my pearl justice but id say go with a pearl or kandy. and like kandied91z said kandy isnt very daily driver friendly. i think pearl blue would look awesome

HOK, Orion Silver base, With a Kandy Cobalt blue topcoat.
Kandy apple orange? what does that look like? pics anyone?
What about this orange

Supreme Member
the problem with using a pure silve base is that the candy colors not only fade quicker but they can't be as deep looking as gold....here is the orange, ask and you shall recieve....

That looks cool...it's like a burnt orange color but real shiney lookin'...I like 

Supreme Member
another problem with candies is that it doesn't show up well at all in pictures like other colors....not to mention that picture is a 2.4m picture but i had to reduce it to post so you loose all the sparkle effect.
there isn't a color out there that can outshine a candy color in person.

Yep, once of these days. right now Im more conserned with finishing off the vert conversion, adding the sfc's and tieing the 8point cage into it. finishing off my 92Z wing on the glass deck lid and smoothing out the end caps to make it look right.Originally posted by Kandied91z
so are you still doing the blue candy?
and collecting parts for the 418 Twin Turbo motor. Just need a crank and pistons now. and make a cam selection.
Im deff. doing the HOK blue but I want something more to it. either silver ghost tribal flames, stripes or I dono what..
Supreme Member
kandied- that was at camaro superfest at WCC summer of 03 correct? IF so, yes that car was amazing, but my dad and friend agreed that yours was one of the most eye catching.
Oh by the way, I park in that spot sometimes for class, that the pearl orange is parked in.

o'yeah well thank your dad and friend for the kind thoughts....yes the candy orange truly was amazing....there was a candy red one same style the year previous that was breathtaking however he spent almost 25,000 just in paint.
i love my car no doubt but that much for one of these cars is a bit much....however i love to see it.
TPl383 have you tried a gold base coat with the blue your thinking of doing? if you haven't you should try it as you will get a much deeper look to the paint and the brightness or overall color of the blue can be lightened/darkened with different amount of coats....silver is nice but the gold will really bring a candy out. just an idea...

Nothing beats a black thirdgen.. then red .. then white!

nothing crazy but not a bad mid range paint job. Previous owner had it done and i like it good quality, no kandy job but nice colour.

My dream was always to paint my bird Candy Apple Red. Put a huge black bird on the hood, and have WIDOWMAKER air brushed onto the top area of the bumper.

Black [what other camaro color is there] with a light dark blue pearl to it, House Ok Kolors, of course 

Supreme Member
black is definately nice and clean but it hides the lines of the car....not to mention as a daily driver it shows alot of imperfections.
...."gun metal-metallic" (sometimes called "medium grey metallic")...
