A couple of things:
1969 was a long time ago - what we were able to do back then is a lot different than what we can do today. Yes -we could do special paint back then - but trust me when I say the quality back then was substantially less than what it is today........
If the Camaro were built in its own plant - there might be an opportunity to build more colors....the reality is that we share a paint shop/body shop with Impala, Equinox, and Regal. Thus, our color/trim people have quite an interesting job when it comes to the fistfights we have on what colors will go into the pallette......
Someone said (I think it was GoldenBear) that the costs to do special paints is exorbitant - and he's right......I can tell you that some Chevrolet dealers (Berger and Tom Henry to name two....and I suspect Rodgers as well....) will paint a new Camaro any color you want it painted - but there's a cost to do so.......
The reality is that if I asked each of you to give me a 10-color pallette - we'd find that opinions are STILL all over the place - and we'd still have people upset that we don't offer "Palomino Ivory"......
(......and for those who ask "what's palomino ivory........take a guess........)
Anywhoo - suffice it to say that we'll have some different colors in the palette going forward - but for everyone we add, another has to come out.......
 Now - let me go find something else to say "NO!" to! |
Perfectly understandable, prudent, and logical, Fbodfather.
I don't think anyone here was lamenting too much, just talking it over.
OK, maybe begging for Metallic Dusk Blue a bit, because I am so in love with how a
ZL1 will look in that color.
But don't for one nanosecond believe that we feel disappointed at all, because that is NOT the case. Heck, if all
ZL1s were only red or black I think we would still be ecstatic. I know I would.
So don't worry about it, Sir. We're here to enjoy the ride.
