Replacement Colors

[NovaMyst]

I would like a darker metallic yellow like Bumblebee or one of the paints that looks different from different angles. A bold metallic purple would be a nice way to replace the synergy green which I also liked a lot.

I like really bold colors. Can you tell?

Don't knock my first paint job folks as I painted this 68 in my driveway.
I am posting these so you can get more an idea of what Mystic Teal Poly looks like.
This is me learning how to paint a car for the first time. Its not perfect by any means.















Ok, so you see by the above photos im not scared to paint my ZL1 any color!
Now taking orders for custom paint work! LOL!

For the IBM and ABM we lost and for blues in general that we don't have at all I would like to see these are all GM color that have been used in the past with many different names:

Possibly Mystic Teal Poly Gm Color in 1997 and 1993 or 1994 also referred to as the changing color paint as it changes from blue, to green, to purple, but this is not chameleon paint.

I like the color discussions that are on going, there isn't any real majority for one or the other but it's interesting discussion, but as far as those 90's teals go I think they should have stayed in the 90's..., excuse me but I have to call on Raaaaaallllpppph.... , sorry about that Chief..

I definitely like the Bermuda Blue Metallic for a new ZL1 (or Camaro in general) color, but some revision of the Mystic Teal Poly would be radically awesome. A dark blue that fades into a dark purple (without the green in-between) or a dark blue that fades into a dark candy red would be a real eye-turner.

I suppose I may need a paint job for my 10th ZL1 anniversary.


GM peeps, if you find my suggestions disturbing, re-announce the Cyber Gray Metallic & I'll shut the heck up.

We really need some toned down colors such as the Supersonic Blue mentioned in this thread or other "soft" colors that are not so BOLD AND IN YOUR FACE.......... I know, I know, its "all in the eye of the beholder", but comon don't you guys agree some softer metallics (Silver Beige??) would be nice???????


The colors seem to be the same as those of the JUJYFRUIT crowd.. (though I still eat them admittedly)...

Elementary Watson!..err, I mean htron......you are onto something. How about a synergy line of colors,..electric hues..., not Easter egg dips like the yucky Ford colors. I was really digging the synergy green the past week as every day I drove past one on the lot. That color was really growing on me....it was....alive...it's alive I tell you...muuuuhaaahhaa.. Now bring us a neon, electric, popping palette of some basic colors. For instance....re-entry red, go-go green, mellow yellow, blastoff blue, OMG orange...<LOL>..let's get a little pyschodelic....Purple Haze......,... Juicyfruits..that's funny!

Bring back ABM, CGM, and replace the current yellow with a more Bumblebee like yellowish/gold.... you'd have tons of happy campers.

I think an ABM ZL1 would be the cat's ass. I'd put a deposit on one today.

If CGM is not possible due to the Japan thing, come up with another variant of gun metal gray. C5 Vettes had a great gray color called Spiral Gray. That would look great on a Camaro.

My first choice will always be GS blue but I would like to see a dark green Metallic. I think it would look real nice if they could make it about the same darkness and metallic shine as IBM but in a green.

What about green?...

dON'T GET ME WRONG, I LIKE THE SYNERGY GREEN. For Bold, it does a good number on your eyes and incorporates enough custom appeal that it works. However, PLAIN ORANGE, PLAIN bLAck, PLAIN YELLOW, PLAIN RED don't work for me. IE, the Jujyfruit pallette of colors. I want paint that looks expensive like Carbon Flash, Silver Beige, The blues mentioned above, etc etc softer tones, but DEEP TONES.
