Custom paint pics??? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Brought my 5th gen 2SS/RS home two weeks ago (LOVE IT!!!!), and gave her the spot in the garage right next to my '96 Z-28 convertible. Problem is, the new one is so shiny and new, it makes my old faithful ragtop look a bit tired. I bought it new -- black with black top and graphite interior -- and swapped the stock hood for the fiberglass ram air style hood. Only has 60k miles, and when it's clean, it still turns heads as I drive down the road. But close up you can see the bumper has a bunch of spider cracks, and the nose is chipping pretty bad. I've been tossing around having it painted for a couple summers, but now I've made the decision. My gut tells me just to repaint it black -- the triple black really looks so mean -- but I'd love to get some custom paint ideas (CUSTOM, more than just adding rally stripes). Any ideas?

Yea, dont do it. Anything over the top is just gonna make it mostly undesirable if you ever go to resell it. Just go back with a nice stock black, the way it was born.

What color are you interested in? Tell me the exact color and I'll check my pic archives and upload a few pics. Ex: Don't tell me blue. Tell me bright metallic blue, or medium blue, or sky blue. Be specific, because I probably have a pic of at least one car in almost every color.

Not particular... if I don't go with black again, it just has to look good with graphite interior and black top. Or black with a cool, unusal stripe or design of some sort?
