Re: Everyone post pictures of your black Camaros!
Can't wait!
Seeing all these black Third Gens makes me wish I could tear down my Iroc, fork over probably around 5 grand, and just get everything resprayed an OEM GM black, or BMW Jet Black.
Something about the blue that I don't like anymore, I get a few comments here and there, but a lighter blue just doesn't seem too MACHO.

Re: Everyone post pictures of your black Camaros!
is it sapphire blue like mine? i love the color black is nice just i wouldnt want it on a vehicle that was sitting in the sun for years. im glad i have the medium blue and not a dark color it would probaly look like crap. i just like the blue iv got so many people commenting saying that they love the blue. i dont see many ligher factory blue thirdgens on here much.
When I bought a 1988 IROC-Z spoiler a couple months back I pulled off mine, and the paint underneath is the Ultra Blue Metallic for sure, I just do not like it though. Black fits Camaros so much better IMHO.

I haven't been keeping up with TGO regularly for the past few days, and didn't get around to reply sooner, but wow! That hood looks amazing up close. Especially with that scoop insert in the second picture.
If only I had an extra $3,000+ to blow on a resto-mod look.

Re: Everyone post pictures of your black Camaros!
I'm not aware of any Sapphire blue that was used on Third Gens, or any F Body for that matter. I think you're talking about the Ultra Blue Metallic. That's what I have, but it's a tad faded.

Re: Everyone post pictures of your black Camaros!
lol i guess i had the name wrong i though i remember there was a sapphire blue but i guess not. mine was faded and with some wax i got mine looking better then new. black does look good if its kept good you CANNOT be stupid at washing the car or go through a car wash if you are then DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING A DARK COLOR! iv seen black look like crap quick. just alot of people have blk camaros and they blend in if there isnt good light. just my opinion
Sapphire Black BMW's and just about any metallic black car will look clean for just about ever. The problems come along with Jet blacks, or any of the softer blacks. Although, with multiple clear coats there won't be any problems. I've been talking to a few painters since I will be most likely painting the Camaro soon, and they seem to think Sapphire is the way to go.

Metallic Mercedes.

I really like Mercedes' Obsidian metallic Black. I'd hate to know how much it costs per gallon though.

Re: Everyone post pictures of your black Camaros!
Black cars in general are easy to keep clean. It depends on the shade..

Re: Everyone post pictures of your black Camaros!
Not sure of tire size but his car is on airbags so he can lower it almsot any height he wants, also the rims look to be 20" rear and 18" front, correct me if I'm mistaken sickness. It is a beautiful car!

Re: Everyone post pictures of your black Camaros!
I have small tube headers (not sure of the brand) powdercoated grey, a flowtech 2-1/2" true dual exhaust with no cat, and two turbo mufflers. the tips are 5" diameter! HAHA! Ya I liked them because they looked real burly! They wrap around the mufflers themselves! Im glad you like it. I will try to throw a youtube video so you can hear the way it sounds.
