Anyone seen a Purple 3rg gen?
Well here it is! This is my budget bird and my $1200 paint job. I have never seen a purple third gen and I wanted one. Also, during the day its a deep dark purple and at night its black! It still needs some touch ups but that will be taken care of soon. Let me know what you guys think. Oh and if you have any purple birds please post!

I used to have an 89 trans am that someone had previously painted a metallic deep purple with the decals and such in a grave digger green. I loved that paint job, purple looks so awesome on these cars. Rock the purple!

My car will be purple soon. Thirdgens tend to stand out really well in that color for whatever reason.

There is a purple RS that lives in the same town as my dad. I see it almost everytime I go out there...I even parked by it once.
Re: Anyone seen a Purple 3rg gen?
There was a purple B4C around back when I was younger. Too bad I'm sure it's long been beat/scrapped.
Curious though, OP, why is the top of the spoiler/roof dull?

Re: Anyone seen a Purple 3rg gen?
Purple Haze was the 4th most popular color on 1992 Camaros (8,588 built), and was only offered that year. The only colors more popular than it were White, Red, and Teal.
Now, how many Purple Haze cars are still on the road and still Purple?

I know of ONE here locally.. two if you count BlueZee's convertible. Not sure if he'll be keeping his purple, though.
