Found this pic of a Z06 with Crystal Red Tintcoat. Can anyone verify if this is the exact same that will be on the ZL1?? If so, simply PERFECTION!!

Identical paint code, will keep my SS for another year and order a ZL1 in this color combo with polished wheels.

Here's a Caddy in CRT. I loved the color on a CTS, but the wife loved Black Ice.

That is an absolutely stunning color! Got me re-thinking my color now. Sheeeeeit that's sweet!

The Crystal Red Tintcoat will be the same color used on the Corvette, Cadillac and several Chevy models. However, Cadillac charges $950.00 extra, Corvette $850.00 extra and Camaro $325.00 extra. So I do not know what the difference in the paint jobs is between the different models.

Depending on the # of layers.

Those pictures look a little too orange. Its definately more red than that, but I only saw it in artificial light in a showroom. Nice color tho'...

The sun is orange so that explains why the color of the car looks a bit more orange.

The color IS gorgeous, I agree. We have it on our 2012 Cruze. I would go out on a limb and say that it will be the same color offered for the ZL1. The gold metalflake in the tintcoat premium paint process makes all the difference.

No offense to s/c here and his repsonse

, I just pulled it to make my point. The sun, digital cameras, computer monitors, and a littancy of etc...etc's...at times may alter the true hue <pun intended>, really folks there is no orange in it. If you are a fan of red, this is a bitchin' red.

True, you really have to see it for yourself. Like I said it was my choice of color for the CTS.
Black Ice is bad ass too.

If they put the depth of paint on the Camaro -- especially knowing it will be the ICON Camaro - that they put on the Corvette, it WILL be great. I hope they also put a bit more clear on it... just sayin.... to counteract the dust pits caused by "hgher speeds"..... LOL

Damn....... gotta post the pic again......... That's what I'm ordering!

With the shiny rims and that CR Hood.... WOW...
Can't take my eyes off it.....

PS: I asked Fbod in another thread to clarify what to do with orders tomorrow if our color is not released yet... But its message #13 (bad luck?)
