Pick your Camaro colors here. (Paint Chip Photos)
Ladies and gentlemen,
I have gotten my hands on an official Camaro Paint Chip Card and after MANY days of bad weather I finally managed to get out into the sun and take some photos of the colors in what I think is the most important lighting conditions possible. I set up in an empty field because trees and buildings were reflecting on the chips in my first photos, and it was windy so I had to tape the chips to a cardboard box with some weight in it so it wouldn't blow away. I did freeze my butt off. The paint chips were photographed from various angles with two cameras, a Casio Exilim and a Canon EOS DSLR. The white balance was set for sunny daylight and I think the true colors come through on my monitor. Enjoy!!! Note... the last two images were taken with an overcast sky for comparison to a cloudy day. I also have the full resolution images in closer detail if anyone thinks they want a bigger closeup of a color. Tell me which image and which color you want zoomed in. I think seeing them side-by-side is better though. Last edited by Captain Awesome; 01-12-2009 at 09:07 PM. |

CGM!!
It's the closest I can get to black without having to obsessively clean it every day.

Notice that some of the colors (RJT and IBM) really darken up in the different lights and angles. I don't know if you can see it but it looks like IBM, RJT, and IOM have a much smaller/finer fleck in them than do SIM, ABM, and CGM! |

I sticking with SIM and black rally stripes...saw a Dodge Bumble Bee truck today out driving that was silver with the black stripes and it just confirms it's exactly what I am wanting!

Inferno Orange seems to be looking better all the time. Looks pretty orange to me in most of these pics.

Although the yellow pops in all different lighting unlike most of the other colors that dull in the dark

i might go with CGM since black is a bitch to take care of. |

The more I see IBM, the happier I am with the choice.
