Re: What Color to Paint!

Hello fellow third gen owners. I don't know why but I bought this car for a whopping $250. Then I started tinkering with it, and now it's turned into a heck of a restoration project. Don't know of to many people that would restore a third gen Camaro. So now after T-top rust repair, 20 something years of door dings, and custom carbon fiber hood and spoiler mock up, I am ready for some paint. The factory color is summit white and I like the contrast between dark and light. I was watching a show and I saw a flat white car and was wondering if anyone has worked with flat paint?
