How Much Would You Pay for Kinetic Blue? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Taking the sales poll to another level, this poll is more geared towards what we'd be willing to pony up to get Kinetic Blue if it was offered on any Camaro of our choice (other than the Hot Wheels version).

If GM offered it, how much would you be willing to pay for that color option?

Shouldn't it just be the same price as the other "extra price" color options?

Or is there a special process required to paint "Kinetic Blue" that's different from all of the other paint choices?

i dunno but i figure if im spending over 40k on a car i can pony up another 500 to get the color i just have to have. I dont think I should have to pay more nor do I think they should ask me to but if I had to its worth an extra 500 to me.

Being the same price as the other "premuim" colors makes sense to me. However, the poll tries to determine how much people want this color - and might be willing to speak with their wallet if given the choice.

Custom, special colors, not available normally would be a cool option, even for extra cost. Blue wouldn't get a dime from me, though.

Years ago, maybe even now, not sure, but when I ordered one of my Porsche's I could have any color I wanted for extra $. I supply the paint code and they would paint it at the factory that color. I think it was $3k extra. Since it seems Porsche and some other European car makers are more geared to custom orders, the "any" color option makes sense.

When I ordered my Camaro, it was like pulling teeth. I almost had to beg them to order it because they were hell bent on pushing another color/options on me. I ended up having to go to 3-4 dealers before I could find one that was happy to order it.

So to pay extra for this color and not have it available on any of the Camaro models would be uncivilized. Therefore, I wouldn't pay more than a normal upgraded color option from GM.

It is a beautiful color though. I want to see it in person.
