Question What color ZL1 you gonna buy?

Well enough talk about GM colors......HUURMMMPPPH!!!

I think we know now pretty much what is gonna be available for the ZL1.
Sticking with JUST the colors we know will be an option, that being
RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, BLACK, SILVER AND WHITE.

I am going with ORANGE. How many twinkies will there be?
let's find out. AND OH......if you are plan on taking your car and have it repainted another color, let us know what color as well!
Please lets try to keep this one on topic (What color ZL1 you gonna buy?) as there are plenty other COLOR/ Issues with colors threads already. Thanks!

Out of those options, probably white with SSX wheels. Still holding out to see what the new dark grey will be. If it's in the neighborhood of CGM or Dusk Blue, I'd do that with the polished ZL1 wheels.

The more white wall papers I see, the more and more I like it, and I don't typically like white. Those SSX wheels really sell it for me.

I'm with Chris Farley and will have to probably lean toward Dusk Blue but with the SSX wheels. I'm thinking a little more sinister look

RIGHT?!!! I'd like a little more depth, and would like a little richer blue with some red and less grey, but that color's looking quite nice

CGM's replacement is going to be a little richer and have more blue in it..... We may be getting something close to what we want!




EDIT: The blue I mentioned.... Not sure where I read that so ignore that part.

I have at least a few years, so even if something doesn't right away, I'm sure something will eventually. Regardless, that color is a front runner considering what it sounds like will be available initially. I haven't seen it in person, but the pics' look promising

OK....quoting from memory here only... Scott mentioned that IBM would return...
so can we dont know when or if that will be the case...can we just say "BLUE" and leave it?
I realize its not cut and dry.. I really do. But I think we should be able to get close...
Who knows?
So: RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, BLACK, SILVER, WHITE and BLUE IF BLUE RETURNS, (What color ZL1 you gonna buy?)

I'll probably get silver, as I've heard it's the best color to get if you're repainting. I intend on painting mine ABM eventually. Or at least a similar shade of blue.

Where did you get the "have more blue" part if you don't mind me asking? That's the first I've heard of that, only heard about it being gray and "somewhat richer" per Scott.

As you may be able to tell, I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the replacement gray.

"Richer" may be a hint to look towards the grays in the buick and caddy line. Or not.

Not black. So hard to clean. Maybe white or red, but definitely going to black out the car.

Yeah, I honestly have no idea what the term richer really means in this case. It's a hint but it could mean a lot of things to a lot of different people.

Does it mean the color will have more depth or color, or will it be from a higher line like you alluded to? Heck, it might even have gold flake in it instead making it "richer", I have no idea
