I'd be willing to pay. I kinda figured there would be a huge cost. I've got my dicast to match the color with. It seems to be the right color. But I'll be repainting my Camaro anyway. I think I'll match the color as close as I can. Then I'll paint on a very dark metalic grey, like a dark gun metal instead of black just to give it a gotta-be-me type look for the stripes.

A reverse color combo on a black Camaro would look really cool....I feel a photoshop coming on!

Remember that already included in the cost of the car is a paint job and polishing from factory so why pay for it twice along with a disassembly of the car. (that's where the costs skyrockets to $10,000). If GM does it, it is just the cost of the paint (which as we know runs in the $3 -$4K range and GM could get a discount buying in bulk from Valspar..) in other words if they choose to use this method I describe above and do get lots of orders which I think they most definitely will, it is very doable and GM comes out winning in the end...

Sorry officer

I just have a question and it may be a stupid one but why does it have to be Valspar paint? I understand that what was used on the concept/Bumblebee cars but do you really think the general public will know that. I'm sure that PPG or DuPont can match it or come so close that knowone will know the difference. I'm thinking that could be an option. But I'm still keeping mine black with the 68 style bumblebee stripe. I will be removing the GM chicklet and replacing it with a similar sized Autobot logo. Just to keep mine unique.

How many commenters have seen bumblebee in person? Both inside under lights and outside under sun?
That cannot be easily matched. It cannot be duplicated for $3000-$4000. If you want a bumblebee look alike, win the contest or order velocity yellow with cyber gray stripes and call it a day.

The bumble bee paint job just isn't going to happen from the factory. If your willing to drop the dough on it find a reputable shop, fork over your wallet and car, and prepare for a good month or two downtime. Now decals, maybe a special steering wheel cap or center caps on the wheels, heck even a numbered badge or custom stripe color I can see. BUT NOT a complicated expensive paint job.

I love the bumblebee look but no way am I paying $4k extra for paint.
I'm hoping the rally yellow is more yellow-orange than lemon yellow. Some photos make it look really good. |
