Re: Color Choices?

And yet, after I posted last night I was thinking about how beautiful my MEDIUM GREY METALLIC '89 RS was, and how many more compliments I had on the color of that car, versus the traditional bright red of my '91 RS. Not everyone wants a bright-a** color, or traditional white or black. Rich metallics, IMO, are where its at. Medium Grey Metallic, Polo Green Metallic, Medium Quasar Blue Metallic, and Monterey Maroon (Maple Red for you F-Bird guys ) Metallic are 3 of the most beautiful colors offered on the F bodies.

To me, you need...

1) Red
2) Black
3) White
4) Silver
5) Orange (either SOM or Hugger)
6) Medium Quasar Blue
7) Maroon
8) Either Medium Grey or Polo Green Metallic

Personally, I don't think I want another grey Camaro, but it sure was pretty. If I don't get orange, I need a medium or navy blue...to complete my Red/White/Blue collection

Re: Color Choices?

Polo green is a gorgeous colour but I don't think my next Camaro will be the same colour as my 4th gen. A lot of dirt shows up, almost as bad as black and if there was a stripe package with the Z28 trim, few colours go well with green save for white and silver. However, I agree that Polo Green would be a nice option.

Re: Color Choices?

What about Marlboro Maroon like on the 67 Vette? My neighbor has one and that is a beautiful color.

Re: Color Choices?

A nice color I would like to see is Maple Red Metallic that came on the 98 or 99 T/A. That color with chrome wheels looks very very nice.

Re: Color Choices?

I won't buy one unless I can get it in a color similar to '99-'00 Corvette Nassau Blue Metallic

Re: Color Choices?

Amazing how many people on here say SOM, yet no one ever seems to buy it

My dad's '02 Formula is one of 32 SOM Formulas for '02, out of the 901 built. Of the 32,000 '02 Birds, IIRC less than 1,400 were built. Makes his all the more unique

Re: Color Choices?

Sunset Orange Metallic, it makes a lot of guys wet their pants


Another abbreviation common on this board is NBM (navy blue metallic) in case you see it.

Re: Color Choices?

As far as 4th gens go, Bright Purple Metallic from '97-'98 is what GREAT dreams are made of...
