How about red with black ralley stripes down the sides? Or an alternation of colors, but ralley stripes look badass on 3rd gens.

I dont know about the colors but hockey stick type stripes looks sick on Camaros, just look at Sinister Z's car.

Hockey stick stripes = ralley stripes lol

Yeah, they look awesome. If I ever get my hands on a 3rd gen maro, I'm definately adding them along with millions of other aftermarketing.

Re: My Camaro a work in progress.. whats a good paint job idea

blue and smoke, respectivly?

Its nice but the pics don't show it well. i'm doing my headlight lids in a slightly different color when it gets painted.
Doing the stock, med. dark royal blue metallicm but not sure about the lower half of the two-tone. and it's going to have a bird on the hood outlined, real thin, with duplicolor's luminescent paint. plus more, it'll be done in the next year. $$'s tight right now, with the economy and all.
