In terms of personal color favorites, Gunmetal Metallic, Maui Blue Metallic, Iroc Z Blue, and that teal color that was available 91-92.

That is a really good looking T/A! I usually don't like red, but your car is awesome in red! I have always loved the black GTA crosslace wheels. I am a fan of yellow thirdgens, though I also love the Green/grey , gunmetal grey, and the deep green used on the'91-'92 birds. Black is great, but hard to keep clean.

I'm sorry, I know this is an old post but when I saw this picture I couldn't resist... It also has absolutely nothing to do with why I was even on the thirdgen boards tonight - looking for any input or advice on users choice of nano-ceramic car coatings. Of which I'm finding surprisingly few related posts. Anybody...?

Anyway! The color on that corvette is seafoam green and Yes! it did come on our cars. At least on the 1987 firebird in my back yard. It's too dark right now but I'll take a picture and post it tomorrow. Not my favorite color, on that I haven't decided.
