Black Camaro owners, any regrets? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I think the cars look best in black regaurdless of how hard thy are to keep clean, its just the most wicked looking car since the T/As of old

If i were going to order one i'd be stuck between Black and and the darker Crimson color, not really worried about keeping the car clean as much as rarety, ive seen tons of black Camaros and Grey Camaros, i especially dont dig the grey but thats just my oppinion, i might go with that Crimson with black side stripes just cause it looks awsome and its a rare color combo

I have a weakness for cars that stand out, thats why i got my 3rd gen, i never see them around here, the 2010 Camaro stands out excellently but i still might preffer a rarer color selection just for that added effect...at first i was thinking black with the orange stripes cause nobody was doing that at the time and i LOVE that look, but of course about a week after setting my mind on that 800 of them start popping up -.-' haha

Mine is my daily driver.

Mine is kept outside.

Mine needs washing (or at least dusting off) about every other day (though having gotten it just a few weeks ago, I've been driving it more than I will normally.)

And you know what?

Totally worth it.

Yeah go with your gut man! I think all of us "Black Camaro" owners will agree that Black is the nicest color when it's clean, but it's a bitch to keep clean! But, it just takes time and effort to make sure it stays clean and I'm sure you're going to want to baby this car, regardless of what color you get.....so you might as well get Black if thats the one you're leaning more toward. Black is THE nicest color, in my opinion. Well, gotta go....gotta go wash my car

Nothing better looking than a clean black car, nothing worse than a dirty one.

PQ · 10-09-2009, 02:44 PM

Your black car isn't any cleaner or dirtier than any other color. Dirt just shows more.

Black cars stay cleaner than others because we wash them more. So if anything else, it's like whole life insurance. It's gauranteed to get your return and it forces you to keep it up. I see this as a good thing.

It IS hard to keep clean...this is my third black Camaro, and on a few occasions I've said to myself that I should have gotten silver or another color because it's a LOT of work. But...once it's clean, it's just hot. I love it. I don't regret it.

Picture's worth a thousand words right there.

Check any dark color They look real good clean My RJT is tough to keep clean but looks STUNNING when clean and in the sun. Black is Beautiful//was my second choice.

Lord Grey · 10-09-2009, 03:28 PM

The darker the color, the better it looks when clean.

My last car was black, and Boo is black. Takes a lot of work to keep it pretty, but damn does it look good. I'm more than willing to invest the time.

Black just looks mean, angry, sexy, sleek, mysterious, and dangerous all rolled up into one.

Yeah those are my top 3 colors as well.

I've seen all 3 in person and i love them all. Wish I could buy all 3

Starting to think black / cgm look better with gfx though.

And PQ, your car looks amazing. I think I came.

My 94 & 96 Z28's were black, Changed to Victory Red for my 01 SS. When it came time to order my 10, I went right back to black. Zaino it right away, spray with the Zaino anti-static spray, and you'll be happy.
