What color is that? It's the exact color I want to paint mine, aside from black GFX, black hood, and maybe black halfway up the side.

Anyone have pics of a chameleon black/blue paintjob??

Sure. They are metal, so they can be sanded & painted just like the bodywork.

Re: What Color to Paint!

Those wheels are C5 Corvette deep dish machined face with black vents. One of the very few wheels that looks great on our cars.

And it isn't my car, by the way.

Re: What Color to Paint!

does anyone on here have a "root beer brown" third gen? i am prepping for paint, and decided on black, but on the fence. i want to do a flashy color, but want to keep it subtle. and i like the cars that have mismatched paint from the t tops. i know the second gens were available in that brown color, but not sure how it would look on my GTA. if i go brown, i might do a deep deep shade of it. not root beer, not copper, not rust. just enough brown to be a brown car, and enough black to pull of the gold trim. so if anyone can track down pics, i tried and came up with nothing. or if you photoshop. i'm not that good at it.

Guess you're in luck, the Camaro I bought about 4 months ago happens to be brown. I need to fix it up, but I hope the pictures help.

Re: What Color to Paint!

Definitely keep the moldings. 1. They're more aerodynamic (which is why they are there) 2. They make the car look more original 3. They say cool camaro instead of budget camaro. Hope that helps!

i planned on repainting my 86 iroc as well, and had the same question about the side moldings, i was going to take mine off actually since it looks more smooth, but to each there own.

Re: What Color to Paint!

Take them off. Looks cleaner. Aerodynamic? Yeah, uh-huh. They're there same reason every other car has them. To prevent door dings.

Years and counting.. & still not done. Actual main panel/body painting was done over the course of a few weekends, done in spare time. Might change it yet again before it's all over...
Did you get the paint code that you mentioned.I need to paint mine the same to keep original

Re: What Color to Paint!

GM Black for 1984 camaro code of 'WA0848'. The car still has the original paint from the factory hopefully I won't have to repaint it for some time.
