the turquoise i can live with...but not the darker jade looking green i saw on the HHR :( but hylton what do u mean when you say the stripes will make all the difference...cuz looking at the color on the HHR i couldnt even picture a color to go good with it...not even black or white...or silver

Well, I can't wait to see your ABM Camaro, cuz I am waiting til fall at least to order. I want your opinion of the color on the actual car, because I know you feel the same about it as I do!

ABM will look darker if you go with white stripes and will look lighter if you go with black stripes. Have you seen HeatherR's SIM SS with white stripes? I looked at it up close and the silver looked grey next to the white stripes.

I'm going with Silver Ice stripes because of the metallic look... based on the paint samples I got from my dealer, I think they'll look great together!

I still like the color, but it does have a little green coming out of it at times. Kind of how the IBM has some purple coming through at times as well. I really was going to go with a blue of some sort on this new Camaro, but since neither of the colors are a TRUE BLUE, I went a different direction.

The reason it changes is because of the pearl in the formula. It also has green tint in the formula, so that's why this color is so fickle. I guess we need to see it in person on the actual car. I am with dustin on this, its driving me nuts...I just wish GM would bring back LeMans blue from 1969, or give us Jetstream Blue from the Vette!

Rallysport, not knowing anything about auto paint, could different batches of this mixture, give different "looks" on the pictures we're seeing here? e.g. more green or pearl?
