Re: Post pics of the rare colors and heritage cars!!!!
Hey guys give me your opinion!?
My 91' Z28 is red with silver/red rims and red interior. Would a matte black paintjob look good with a black convertible roof and the red interior and the silver/red rims? I saw a picture of a matte black 3rd gen but it didn't have a convertible roof or rims like mine and it looked surprisingly good. I was told that a matte/satin black paintjob is only 150 bucks.
This is the pic: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._5347740_n.jpg
Any thoughts?

Re: Post pics of the rare colors and heritage cars!!!!
you mean like this? 


I don't think gunmetal gray is such a rare color... is it? It's not original on mine, although one of the donor cars was a factory original gunmetal gray 1983 Z28. I liked the color so I ended up painting the whole car like that.
That donor Z28 would have looked exactly like this, minus the third brake light and possibly with a different interior.

Re: Post pics of the rare colors and heritage cars!!!!
Well, I've got one of those sitting in my garage right now! Well, a "gold" one anyways; mine's an '82 Berlinetta. Makes me want to think twice about changing it's color.

Re: Post pics of the rare colors and heritage cars!!!!
The problem with Gun metal gray or dark metallic grey is that it fades when it gets too much sun. But I love the color.

Re: Post pics of the rare colors and heritage cars!!!!
What's interesting about this is that is the color that I painted my faded Gun Metal gray 89 RS. I also put on Hot Pink pinstripping. It looked pretty...no... really good !

Re: Post pics of the rare colors and heritage cars!!!!
Cool that you found that color, that's the color of my 84 Camaro, gold trim and wall. I just figured out what that color is called, GM Code 65E, Dark Goldwing Metallic (at least on Chevy, on Pontiac could be different). Haven;t seen many like it, and none in person. Didn't even know it came on pontiacs, but that's a cool car.

If it's copper, then yes in that they only offered it during 1985 and from the White Book: ~11k made in 1985 and two were supposedly produced in 1986. Looks like a Berlinetta as well.

Re: Post pics of the rare colors and heritage cars!!!!
yes its an 85 berlinetta. just thought it was a strange color, because it looks like two completely differant colors in sun, and in shade. looks copper and bright in the sun, and dull and brown in the shade. i just so happen to find another one identical for sale on craigslist for 2k. pretty tempting, but they had already swapped engine and trans in it. so its not all original like mine

Re: Post pics of the rare colors and heritage cars!!!!
I would jump on the bandwagon here, but the 88 isn't even close to factory anymore... Been repainted twice. Don't know how rare it was, but I do know, from the RPO sheet I found in the car on one piece, it was Gunmetal Metallic with a Carmine Red interior, TBI 305 and T-5, hardtop, no options (power nothing, non-A/C, 3.08 open drum rear). Started out factory Gunmetal, turned Bright Red, and ended up whatever red it is now...
Question: Go back to the factory Gunmetal when all is said and done or continue with the plan and go with Carbon Flash (think 2011 Malibu)? I almost would have her repainted red (paint's chipping in a lot of places), but I don't even know what red it IS... Seems like a candy red (I know there is a coat of Silver Metallic underneath it).
