Help me choose a color scheme for the SS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Apex Paul · 10-07-2014, 07:57 PM

I'm starting (finally) to modify my Camaro, since it got smashed in the face recently by an F250. I've decided on the colors, but can't decide if I like the black on the top or bottom. What do you think?

The colors will be:

Matte Black
Green Apple Matte Metallic
Electric Blue Accent Stripe

black on top - because then you tie it in with the tires on the bottom.

Q'smuscle · 10-07-2014, 08:00 PM

hard choice but I'll choose the bottom one

I like the black on top. Try the green on just the fins of the ZL-1 scoop. I went for a red stripe. That blue looks great!

PoorMansCamaro · 10-07-2014, 08:22 PM

are you planning on going with the zl1 front end and zl1 hood or hood scoop? if so, I think it would look best with the green on top, so the scoop breaks up the green.

Black on bottom. I love my two tone.

I have already swapped the front to the ZL1 fascia, as well as a ZL1 hood and I have a matte black insert for the hood. I have also swapped the grille to the Heritage grille. Basically the car looks just like the picture except it is currently Silver Ice Metallic. There is a pic of what it currently looks like in this thread in the member build forum.

then I would definitely go with green on top

looking forward to seeing the end product either way

Scheme 1. Black on top looks good but done before. Scheme 1 stands out more.

ELIC1 · 10-07-2014, 10:25 PM

black on top

I'm definitely keeping this one. The only reason I ever sold any of them in the past was that I couldn't afford to have more than one. I've reached a point where this isn't an issue, so barring some financial fiasco, I'll be hanging on to this one until I can no longer drive.

The great thing about this is that it is wrap. If the look gets tired then all I have to do is pull off the wrap and I'm back to stock. All the while keeping the Silver Ice Metallic paint from chips and scratches.

Here is a shot of the actual green apple matte metallic wrap.

How much is going to cost to paint?
