I'd go with the blue. Make it a little more rare.

If you want a REALLY nice color I can tell you what color I want to paint my car one day. But... I don't know how much money you're planning on spending, so it might be out of budget?

The color I want is a silver platinum blue metallic. It is unlike any color you will ever see in your life. It's like a metallic silver with a blue chrome illusion in it. One day..........

Mine is black and apart from the obvious knight rider jokes i must endure i love it, hard to keep clean tho. When it is redone "one day" i would like to mix in a hint of navy to make it a little more unique. Black on black looks awesome all waxed up!
Interested in pics of those body mods when done. Should get a few double takes

Do you know the manufacturer of that paint & have any photos of it? I'm looking for a new color for '04.

I also like the blue, but one afterthought is what color is your interior on the camaro?

The reason I ask is, because if you have a red interior, it may look a little weird with a blue exterior.

But a black or grey interior would look fine with a blue exterior.

Grey does look great with a blue like that....mine is grey leather and I think it looks perfect (but then again I am probably a little biased etc)

i think he means for the money you want to drop in, why not just sell it and buy a car with everything already done....

i mean... i use to have a 91 RS.... it cost me $3100....

I was going to fix it up... wanted to get new rims, new paint, new engine (305 TBI sucks ***).... and when I thought about it, you could get a pretty decent IROC at the time for around $5000....

So.... what was cheaper? Of course instead i found out all the IROCS at $5000 were pretty crappy... and by that time all my money piled up and I bought a 92 Z for $10k.... but it was the thought that counted.
