there is a paint code and you will be able to have it matched. so dont worry. just find a good painter that knows how to read and has a good eye to match it

I do believe you have to take the car apart for a paint job. (Some shops charge 65 bucks an hour.) |

The paint code will be around, there are other cars that use the same paint, it is just being discontinued on the Camaro. besides body shops will have to be able to match the paint unless every ABM painted car is never wrecked....

Hard to Believe the best color is being discontinued, isn't it? GM is so short-sighted. While many of the "first wave" Camaro buyer's may have thought Aqua Blue wasn't a "muscle car" color I can guarantee you that the second wave of buyers, after seeing this great color in person, will love it, as you've found. I loved it on my 78'....Not that I have to tell you this, but no other color currently available, or soon-to-be available, showcases the sharp and subtle lines of this car better-in a variety of light conditons...The attached pic says it all. This color blows all the other's out of the water...Hence the name This has been anguishing for me. Finances are tight right now, and its the worst time of the year in Minnesota to acquire a hot sports car that you don't want to drive in the tough winters we have, and all that salt on the roads. That being said.....I'm keeping options open. ABM may be in the cards yet. Last edited by DerbyChamp06; 11-06-2009 at 12:14 AM. |

It won't matter if the color is discontinued...the formulas are available to the bodyshop. Heck, even a new car can have paint formula variances depending on what plant it was built in or which VIN the car has. Most shops have the colors and formulas at hand to mix and tint the color to match...it's just how it is, don't worry. I have been painting cars for 25 years, I'm not saying it's easy, but it's not a huge problem for someone that knows what they are doing...

Ya know...I was a huge fan of this color but had reservations. I even bought a Camaro model and painted it ABM with the formula right off of my Dupont website and paint mixing bench...I posted pics on here back in March or April here somewhere...anyway, I did get to see one at a dealership awhile back and the color just didn't "pop" unless the sun hit it. It's the pearl in color that does it. I saw the color on a HHR and it looked bland...I saw it on a Colorado and the sharp bdylines made the color look good. Well, it really won't matter now, since GM is dropping the ABM...but now I might go Summit White with blue stripes........I already have built the model and painted it to match. I will post pics on the Summit White Camaro thread....eventually!
