Classic color conundrum - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So, getting close to ordering a Camaro but it's the age old dilemma - what color??

I like

Black w/ White Stripes
Black w/ Inferno Orange stripes
CGM w/ Black stripes
CGM w/ IOM stripes

^^ What complicates this is that my favorite interior is IOM or Black.

I like the Black/IOM, I suppose, the best. Thinking about keeping it clean gives me pause on the Black....but it looks so damn sexy. Decisions, decisions.

I'm not a 'flashy' person so I'm a little reluctant to order the IOM. Really love the classic Black w/ white as well. Process of elimination I suppose.

I would do Blk/ IOM stripes. Looks great

I'm leaning towards this but I really, really like how crisp the Black w/ White is. Does Zymol or Zaino reduce any of the swirl marks???

I have had black - not again! So I went with CGM/IOM and have loved it!

I'm partial to CGM with matte stripes.

I love the look of black with silver stripes. I know it's not on your list but it looks great to me!

CGM, IOM stripes if those are my choices. I'd go IBM again if I did it all over again. It looks black in the dark, but when the sun hits it, it just explodes blue all over the place. =)

Thanks for the input folks!!! Keep it coming!!! For the CGM ppl, is it because of the upkeep on black??

Can you get reduce the swirls with in the black with Zaino or Zymol?? The CGM w black is very subtle. Can't decide if it has enough 'pop'.

Black w/ white stripes and an IO interior would look awesome.
