Let's see your white third-gen's!
I started out, looking for a yellow gold 3gen Camaro a while back. Somewhere along the way I started looking at white too... next thing I knew I'd found one I really admired. Now it's mine!
Maybe I will need a new screen name now
Post your favorite picture of your white 3gen FBody please!

Here's a picture of my 89 IROC-Z, it was originally white w/ gold stripes on the GFX (probably gold IROC-Z door decal too) and it had the 16" IROC-Z wheels with gold accents. By the time I got the car it had a different hood, and most of the gold accents were gone (car was re-painted), but I had the RPO sheet so I kinda got an idea of what it looked like. This picture was taken after doing a little body work, getting ready to re-paint it again (but not white hehe).
thats me on the right if anyone cares hahaha

The pearl is awesome. I've given thought to having that done someday to mine. How much extra does the pearl additive cost? I know that prismatic color-shifting paint for example, is incredibly expensive. I'd imagine the pearl is not as costly...

My paint was expensive, but then again, I used good paint. I used Sherwin Williams 3 stage Urethane paint. For basecoat, pearlcoat, clearcoat and all additives, it cost me about $900.

The pics are from when I first got the car...not much has changed other than having gotten the interior refabricked (same color as original). Most of my work has been cleaning up and fixing the engine. :P

Nice cars everyone!
BTW I found an interesting article about car color trends...
http://www.basf.com/corporate/news20..._car_color.htm
Also maybe explains why I found white to look cool on these cars:

White, the ultimate expression of purist style and aesthetic straightforwardness, will become increasingly popular. Sophisticated and unambiguous, white is a color that helps clarify the language of the car’s form.

Here's mine doing what it does best!!! Of course this was probably about 5 years ago, since then it has gotten a nicer 383 and a 4 inch Harwood.
