I had/have the same dilemma. I'm going with blue/white for my theme though. I decided to do the front/back blackout. I haven't painted my white rally's on yet, but I think it'll look fine.

Recent addition.
Car is thrashed needs a good detail after weeks of almost non stop rain...

Yeah. I think I have decided, at least for now. I plan to Matte black vinyl the rear and front. See how it looks with the silver hood spears. If I like it enough once I replace my front fascia I will have it painted at that time. If I tire of the silver I will just do CFM everywhere, front/rear/stripes etc.

This is a cheap alternative for now to get an idea. I may go as far as doing some factory vinyl's rally stripes from MnP to get a better idea of the full stripe. They are only ~$150 cheap enough to help me make a decision once I get that far.

Cool! MNP used my car for a lot of his stuff. That's where I got my front and rear blackouts, bowties, hash marks, and whit bowties for my wheels from.

Yeah I saw your post's about them, can't beat the prices. Especially if it's just s trial run before paint. WHo Knows I might just keep vinyl if it looks good enough, that way I can easily go back to all the beautiful ABM later if I want LOL.

Was the ABM Camaro only available for a limited time or something? This color is awesome, but you can't build them in this color anymore.

ABM was only offered in the 2010MY and not for the full year. Production of this color ended in December 2009.

This isn't the best picture, but I saw the car on a previous page that was hit and fixed and thought id share. This picture is before my story....

My neighbor decided to spray paint a little book rack ....some kind of rack anyway.... white.... right next to my car.
I didn't know and the next day when I went to polish the car for its first ever show n shine the following week. The car felt like it had, I don't know hair on it. It was shiney and smooth but not like it always is. After I was finished going over the whole car with the product I use (Wet Paint) I pulled it out into the sun and then could see the fine overspray in the black. To make a long story shorter the neighbor admitted her husband had done it.
I took it to a professional custom car shop and had it removed....while they were doing it I had the car cut and rubbed (hand sanded perfectly smooth and polished). My entire car is like a mirror now. The same as all the true custom show cars. I can't believe how much better it looks than the factory finish, its night and day. $850 and worth every penny.........

By the way the shop said $400 to remove the white spray paint alone and the neighbors paid it...The bad part is they have been neighbors for 15 years and now they act like babys and wont talk to me or the wife because I told them they had to pay and that I wouldn't take my car to some puink with a buffing wheel for $50. The $400 was part of the $850. I added the extra $450.

As soon as the sun starts shining I will put up a couple pictures.

They should NEVER bring the ABM color back....keep it limited

. By the way does anybody know the true # of how many were made? I have heard from 1200 to 10,000? But mostly around 2200.

It's closer to 3,600 +/- 60, not sure the exact number.

Moonshade · 04-17-2011, 06:56 AM

last I heard it was 3610 for the North American market. I'm not sure what the figures look like for any of the other locations.
