I tried doing a search, but couldn't find what i needed. Does anyone have pictures of a 93-97 Camaro painted all one color up front (no black around the lights). I have seen some 93-97 cars i loved that were all one color and seen others that i thought "wtf??." My car is getting painted VERY soon and I still havent decided how i want to paint it. If anyone has some pics, let me know. Especially on a white car.

Thanks in advance.

 

see an example here . I highly recommend Brent Franker's site to answer more questions. Just click on Camaro at the top, then paint schemes on the bottom of the page

Oh there is a white Camaro on there. save you a little searching

 

Thanks for the link. I think I'll keep it black around the lights. Like that look better.

 

the nose looks good all one color with stripes

 

The only thing I don't like about doing that is unless you have the area on the side part filled in flush it looks funky with the indention there!

 

IMO, the black around the lights looks MUCH MUCH better.

Without it, you have the body line curve around the headlamps that becomes meaningless and looks out of place.

On top of that.... it kind of makes it look like your car was hit in the front, and it was repainted, and the painter wasn't good enough to attempt to do the black for the headlamp pockets or something...


Just my opinion though.

 

Definitely leave the headlight area alone. WIthout the black there it does look sorta dumb. I think the lower grill and fog light part can go either way. I've seen some looking really good with simply a different colored bowtie but the rest being the same color as the car.

I'll be doing mine all body color when I get my car repainted

 

Sorry i dont have any pics of my Z28. I have the whole front nose painted white. No black at all. Looks soooooo much better. I dont know why gm didnt do this to start with.
I get a lot of compliments on it.

 

I think I've decided to definately keep it black around the headlights, but go with a gloss black instead of flat black. As for the lower grill, I'm not sure yet. I have always liked the 30th anniversery cars and they have the lower grill white. It would give my car a different look from stock and I think it would look pretty good. We'll see. I'll post pics of whatever I do.

 

I have mine all one color. I might redo it though when I get the custom ghost flame paint job I want. Flat black looks ugly and too stock, I will go back to gloss black if anything.

 

I must agree - "My Car" is all white with silver stripes!

 

My car was hit before I bought it and the front is all silver like the rest of the car. When it gets painted, the area between the fog lights and the headlamp pockets are going back to black. IMO all one color is ugly and reminds me of my car getting hit.

 

I painted mine all red. I got the idea of Brent's site. I HATED the black on the front. I love the way it looks now. Glad I did it. Thanks god for Brent's site!

I agree, gloss black around headlights, but paint the grille, its different.
