PPM camaro...What kind of accents?
I want to do somthing to my camaro to make it different then all of the other camaros. I bought the car and it was in pretty bad shape cosmeticly. Im getn it painted this summer. Ive never seen another PPM camaro around my are however I was thinking about maybe a metal flake in the clear coat or some sort of stripes. Let me know what you think would look good. I just dont want it to be dull looking. thanks

I can only imagine that black stripes are about all that would really look good. Purple pearl and that green/gray metallic color are very hard to accent. I say just get some nice wheels and lower it with some eibach sportlines and you'll be good to go.

I do have all the RK SPORT chrome camaro z28 emblems for the fenders and rear CAMARO. I am looking to get some C6 rims in the future. I just want to do somthing to make it shine and not be dull.

yeah thats what mine looks like right now minus the hood,
Im doing the 98 front conversion. When I mean dull I mean its doesnt really shine in the sun waxed or not. Not like alot of other colors do. Thats why I was thinking about metal flake

If you don't want it dull, don't get it repainted the same color 
.
Otherwise, maybe get a purple tinted/dyed clearcoat or get a light spray of Dupont Chromalusion paint to make the car look bluish purple all over.

I have a purple pearl metallic formula... I definitely understand what you mean by "dull". I got mine repainted in the same color and I was shocked at how much different the color looked... the guy who painted it said a lot of the metallic had faded out. Now people see my car and they're in awe of the color, I get asked all the time about it.
Here's a before and after pic of my car for you....
Before paint...
After paint (and rims and hood)....
