Camaro Color??? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Still gotta be a nice yellow with stripes for me. Besides the obvious Bumblebee thing what with me being a Transformers fan, I also think that the combo just makes the car work like no other. And it's perfect for this normally dreary country for car colors.

I want a blue, dark blue. Possibly stripes. But I think it might be a little too much. I want it as a daily driver and the Camaro makes a bold enough statement as is.

Omega94 · 04-16-2008, 01:25 AM

Just give me Black

Possibly that Crystal Red Metallic Tintcoat that rolnslo mentioned...

or have that color as two stripes on black...

but probably just black

wild_weasel · 04-16-2008, 01:28 AM

Black Graphite Metallic like the Trailblazer SS...

or Gunmetal grey with some black stripes...

or just plain evil looking black, which incidentally will be the same color as the disposition of Mustang owners when they realize what they passed up

I'm stuck between these three, I love the orange color that the Concept 'Vert was in, but I love the blue/white combos as well.

I'm sure by time it comes out my mind will change one million times.

That blue one is my avatar and desktop background. I think that's what I want. They had similar to that in 1969 too.

Quick question for those with paint cost knowledge....Which would cost me less to have done? Start with a black car and paint the bottom red or start with a red car and paint the top black?

I just want to do the exterior and don't plan on doing door jambs, under the hood/trunk, etc...

wow this car looks a lot like the 1978 RS pic in the brochures... just that the 1978 had t-tops in it...

Cyberstyx · 05-17-2008, 06:57 AM

There 's so much info I 'm bound to miss some facts.

Just found out that Bumblebee yellow will not be offered, but hte explanation more than makes sense.

Anyone knows if the Silver/Metallic color seing on the concept will be available? Not a grey color, a silver/metallic one.

Also, anyone can comment on the durability of the (normal) yellow on a car, after it 's being exposed on the environment (especially the sun) for a long period? Yellow is a "difficult" color. My current car is yellow, which I like a lot, but after 5 years of parking under the sun (due to going to work with my car) the chasis which is a different material from some of the other components (ie fuel cap, spoilers etc) has a distinctively different yellow tone.

You think it 's because yellow is yellow, or all colors would behave like that?

*TAG UR IT* · 05-17-2008, 01:00 PM

I wouldn't doubt that the Camaro is offered in a bright metallic silver.

Also, I believe that all colors act like that under the sun after 5 years. Colors start to fade which is why body shops have to paint such large areas for small dents/blemishes.

Someone here will be able to answer for fact, but that's how I know it.

Red paint is one of the most expensive colors. I would buy a red car and have the black painted over it.

rolnslo · 05-22-2008, 10:38 AM

Thanks for the input. I just hope they have a darker red available than the Victory Red mentioned in the focus group reports. The Victory Red is a nice color but just doesn't do it for me.

raed8 · 05-23-2008, 08:59 PM

I'd have to go with red. My last 2 chevys were red and I love to prove everyone wrong who think red cars get pulled over by cops more than other colors. I've not been caught once!
