BLACK METALLIC? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

if this is a stupid question,
forgive me.

but the BLACK color option is ... BLACK. correct? (im certain of this, just askin the experts.)

do you think they'd consider a black metallic? i think its a real cool look sometimes. i was in Ocean City, NJ this past weekend and saw a NEWER, current BUICK with this color. its STRIKING and i could totally see it super-badass on a new CAMARO.

Just curious, and curious if anyone else likes this type of "black".

love it, had it painted on my older bimmer. i think it was called 'diamond black'

The color for BMW is Cosmos Black - and it is a neat color, but I always felt the car looked like dusty black after I spent hours detailing it (840ci). It would look good on the Camaro though.

Baughman · 04-20-2009, 03:52 PM

Yes, black is an option and no black metallic currently. I would also love to see a camaro in metallic black

Great idea though

Well you can paint it any color you want. As you know the govt is making a move against black cars cause they kill the planet (not volcano's asteroids and the sun).

CGM is what your looking for it's got some black in the mix and 2 colors of flakes.

Chevy has a black metallic color...it's called black granite metallic (Malibu, Traverse, Trailblazer) and it looks awesome.

GLBL WMR · 04-20-2009, 04:17 PM

I've seen a Malibu in black granite metallic - it is flippin awesome. The Camaro would look so sick in that color.

GTO had a black metallic called Phantom Black Metallic.
Great color.

BOBSS · 04-20-2009, 04:31 PM

I have a Trailbalzer SS in Black Granite Metallic.
This would be the best color for the camaro in my opinion

Vash · 04-20-2009, 04:35 PM

For Chicago yea but here near the border and you will get killed on 104 degree days after it sits in a parking lot for hours. I don't know how ya'll can get into a car like that when it's like 200 degrees inside.

franknbeans · 04-20-2009, 04:36 PM

you could always get some nice silver flake and mix it in with clear and have your car sprayed.

I'm really considering having it done with my CGM but with a lot of blue flake.

hell yeah man, i saw 'em the day they went up.
yeah...
it IS nice.
i have black now (MONTE SS '07) and while its not metallic, its badass.
(i keep it super clean)
but for the Camaro....

the black metallics mentioned would be incredible. but yeah... the CGM is hot.

Hmmm.
