Anyone have pics of a charcoal gray or gun metal gray 3rg gen camaro with all black rims & blackouts? Thats a color im thinking of.

 

Not sure who's car is this. But it looks pretty damn good if you ask me! Thats the color I would have went it, if I had went for a color change.

 

Man that is one sweet color. Any thoughts on what it's called?

 

the color??? there was medium grey metallic and gunmetal metallic...it was around the 88 year range...iroczone.com (left column: specifications) has all the year color specs (most of at least) if this site hasn't provided it on the year to year breakdowns. That is if they used a third gen specific color.

This is the color i'm doing my firebird. Thats the only reason i know the two choices...even though they may be one in the same.

 

My 2004 Silverado is damn close to that color.

 

ay, does anyone know what rims are on that car?.. i love deep dish rims but can never find good looking ones..

 

I have a gun metal grey car, and it's quite a bit lighter than the other pics posted.

 

I might either do the the gun metal gray with black GS stripes on the fender, or opposite black with gray GS stripes, what do you guys think?

 

Here's a pic of mine if it helps.

The wheels aren't black but they're dark enough.

 

thanx guys

 

That doesn't look like a stock color though, that's why I was asking. It looks damn good.

 

I remember this car, it was a car done by a student at the University of BC Auto/Body shop class and he posted it for sale after its completion. The color, if I remember correctly, is from a 200X Cadillac Escillade and it is very similar to the black pearl color avaliable on recent Chevy Silverado trucks.

 

i painted mine dark shadow grey metallic.
"CX" is the paint code.
its the deeper grey on cobras, ford trucks, etc....its a sweet *** color.

 

Not mine... I love a dark gray on Camaro's. Seems to be kind of rare actually.

 

does your car have fiskes on it?
i have a wallpaper of a car your paint scheme with a set of M5's against a brike background.
pretty nice.....
anyway, your car has a killer stance, either way.

 

Oh snap crackle AND pop! - That's the exact color I've been wanting to paint mine!

Please tell me you have pics.. Please.

 

not the best pics, but they are decent to check out the paint.
in different lighting, the paint changes around.
at night it looks like you just washed the car, in the day it looks very silver, and when the sun is shining into it, it really brings out the metallic and has a nice deep brown tint to it.

another nice color, but is just a shade lighter, is "spiral silver metallic" which is on 05 vette convertibles. not as much metallic, but has a super nice tone.
its a 3 stage paint.... so i passed on it. $$

 

 

That looks soooooo good!! (one of the best factory grays IMO)


Yeah I've seen the corvettes' "medium spiral gray metallic" (like on the 03's and 04's). But I don't know if it's the same as "spiral silver metallic."

Just curious, how much did that cost you? Did you paint it yourself?..

 

ah yes. spiral grey. i knew i typed it up wrong.
i have no idea what paint brand was used, some car buddies of mine in my area painted it for me. all the actual paint and body work was 2700 dollars, and that included stripping the car to bare metal. after fenders, bumpers, moldings, emblems, new weatherstrip and some other stuff i cant think of, i think i have just over 4300 in the whole deal. thats pretty cheap, considering the preferred shop for custom paint wanted 4K for paint only.

 

that car is GORGEOUS. thats the color i am wanting to paint mine, does anyone have more pictures/info about it or a way i could contact the owner. i did read the post about the school painting it btw. Thanks! alex

 

that car does look good i know what color im going with now

 

Mine but no longer looking like this.

 

Try that again.

 

HAWT!!!

 

How did you suicide the hood?

 

It is a hood set up from a buick of the 80's early 90's, I don't recall which model. I used all the hinge and latch parts from it.

 

Buick Le Sabre & Buick Fith Avenue.

Did you have to modify anything on the Rad support?

 

No, Only moding was bolting the hinge to the hood and the hooks that hold the rear of the hood down. Installing the parts was easy, alighning the holld was very time consuming.

 

Cool, when you put everything back post some pics with the new paint. Oh yeah will it work with a fiberglass hood you think?

 

That hood is fiberglass, its from the 83 Z28. As long as your fiberglass hood has the reinforcement underside like the factory one, you should be ok. The hinges mount close to the middle of the hood balancing the hood fairly well.
