Do you regret choosing the color of your Camaro?

Whats up guys,

So do you? I love the color of my car, it's perfect. But the one major problem is that dust in Kuwait is very frequent, especially in the summer. So it's very easy for the car to get dirty . I also added a paint protection film in the front, and you can easily see the dust on it, there would be a slight difference between the color of the car itself, and the color on the film. So how do you guys feel? Wished you had chosen another color? I would have went with white if it wasn't for Ashen grey.

Love my RJT!! I love how it looks a different color dependent on how sunny or cloudy it is. Bright sun it is a nice deep red, when it is cloudy, almost maroon!

We have the same problem on the east coast each spring/summer, called pollen. Makes any car look like a budding chia pet.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't want any other color (IBM). Love the amount of metallic fire, and the flip-flop purple tinge in the late afternoon sun, thus the Imperial part of the name.

Besides, no color is a "dirt-hiding" color on cars like these. They always need to look showroom clean, if you know what I mean!

Nope black is still as evil as ever and I don't mind the dirt. This isn't a dog and pony show and my car gets driven.

Every now and then however I'll have to chain the beast to an immovable object and force it to take the soapy water but that is a risky endeavor. It does clean up nicely though.

I do not. It hides dirt well and looks amazing in the sun and at night when a bright light hits the color everyone looks over.

Bought the car used so didn't have a whole lot of choice, but no i don't. I love my IBM, looks great in the sunlight and even better under the moon light and street lights. I don't have a huge problem with it getting dirty except for it rains here in Kansas as instead of water marks I get blotches of dirt all over the car. Only color I would have picked over IBM is ABM so I am very happy.

I don't have any regrets about my color but I would've preferred to go with white but it wasn't available when I ordered it in April of 2009.

Love the CFM on my 45th. It gets dusty easily, but I stocked up on the Adams WW and DS. I use both about once a week, which takes about 30 minutes on the vert.

I chose Victory Red with black interior because my truck I traded in was Victory Red with charcoal interior. I figured it would make me feel right at home and not miss my truck so much. I do like the red, too. It pops and isn't quite as common I was considering yellow but it was too loud and I didn't like white because the paint was thin and almost transparent looking in places in the door jambs and under the trunk lid. It also looked really awful under the hood where they don't paint very well down low. Atleast the darker red makes all that far less noticeable.
