GS Paint Scheme on a Camaro

I know this has been talked about before but after searching for 15mins, my eyes are sore from reading the same crap over and over. Does anyone have pics of this done by anyone? If not, could anyone chop this? I'm looking for idea's when I repaint my car and I had this striping done to my old GTA (red w/white stripe) and think I'd go all out with my Camaro with the blue and white with the red hash marks if it looks good. Thanks.

Re: GS Paint Scheme on a Camaro

I think it would look really cool. Are you planning on using Admrial Blue? And are you going to keep the black GTA wheels? I think some black ZR-1's with the polished lip would really complete the look.

Re: GS Paint Scheme on a Camaro

If I was going to go with the GS theme, I would defiantly use the black ZR1's. I want those rims anyway even if I don't end up going with the blue. Just wish someone with some computer talents would step in here and do a chop of this theme on a 3rdgen Camaro.

Re: GS Paint Scheme on a Camaro

On what car? I can't do it on your side pic in your sig.

And give people more than 1 day. I didn't even SEE this thread until today. Threads move down, and get noticed less.

Re: GS Paint Scheme on a Camaro

It took me 2 minutes on a google search to find a REAL car, not a Photochop...

Re: GS Paint Scheme on a Camaro

Didn't bother with google or any other search engine. Figured if it was going to be somewhere, it would have been here. Thanks.

Would like to see 85-90 bumpers on there but thats still cool looking.

Re: GS Paint Scheme on a Camaro

I don't care about the car itself, just the paint. I might use Black instead of the blue. Not a big fan of it. Black I think would look better and be different.

Re: GS Paint Scheme on a Camaro

meh. maybe on a dropped clean ride... with black ZR1s like the vette has. Then again the 82-84 nose screws it all.

Re: GS Paint Scheme on a Camaro

That car just looks weird because it has 15 inch wheels. It would look good with 16 or 17 inchers I bet.

That car also looks like it's sitting higher in the front than the back which makes it look a little more awkward...

Re: GS Paint Scheme on a Camaro

That was going to be my next thridgen project car. I've been wanting to do that for about 8 years now. But do it right. The correct wheels, better stance. I think it would look awesome if done correctly.

Done wrong it'll look *******ish.

Re: GS Paint Scheme on a Camaro

Has nobody seen a 3rd gen sitting without an engine?

My bet is, that GS Camaro doesn't have an engine.

Probably not but most people on here just assume. Sad isn't it? Ah well.

For me, I'd rather have the Black instead of the blue. Thanks for the info Stephen.
