i have a 85 T/A and i need help deciding on what color to go with pics would help alot. where i live there are never any 3rd gens and i want mine to stick out when people see it. i want something metallic im thinking of pewter,candy apple red, dark blue or throw a color at me what you like best with a pic if possible. crome rims will be going on with tints so any pics out there that could give me and idea. two tone is also an idea i was thinking about to thanks guys

 

what's your budget....thats the important thing

 

below a 1000. i have the car completely stripped so it will look better than most for under a 1000

 

for chrome rims, i would go with a darker color, blue would be nice, maybe GM's navy blue metallic.

 

well I saw that you PM'd me, so I figured Id just post here.....you say your limit is under 1k and you want to go through earl schieb......I dont even knwo that they would paint a tri-stage candy paintjob let alone for that price. Most if not all candy jobs I have seen are in the range of 5-20k....they look amazing for a reason. I know that PPG and possibly dupont make a 2 stage candy job, but in comparison you can tell the difference. Metallic jobs in general will run a good price...so if you get a hookup more to you. As for comparing it to mine, Ill admit that mine is far from a perfect candy paintjob, but I would have to defend myself in saying that it's alot better than anythign earl schieb could do....good luck nonetheless

 

Since your on a budget,I think you should stick to pewter.

 

Something like FlyinLow89's old GTA:

 

Well,the previous owner of mine had it painted at earl Schieb and a few months later it faded.I can't really even wash it now or the paint comes off!I would consider someplace else.Whatever you do,get a base/clear.

 

1985 what part of the bay area u live. I live in the bay area also. Theres a macco very close to my house that do good work on cars for a reasonable price. BTW don't go to earl sheibs in san jose, there were the one that did 87tpi car

 

I went to 1 day paint and body and they quoted me $1987.27 for a stage 2 paint job, which they showed me on a few mustangs and camaros and they look nice as hell! mirror effect.

 

I'm a sucker for black camaros, and the stock marroon color.

 

Cheapie, Bay Area paint job here. No complaints but the I'll do the next paint job right.



I live in Bel-Mateo.
