What color?




Thats my ride... my thoughts are either black, midnight blue, or diamond (new cadillac) white.... im indecisive, so someone give me some hints as to what will look best on that car... i have deleted the "CAMARO" indents on the rear, and stripped all the emblems, smoothed it out and primered it with the new hood.... car is going into paint tomarrow, need help fast!

Re: What color?

I wish! It's just some picture that I have on my computer to use as reference for photoshopping. I have no way of hosting the colors once I photoshop otherwise I could do a few different color combos for you.

Re: What color?

i think i know what color your talking about, but once again, u guys are talking about $5,000 PPG paint jobs... i just need the car done a basic color... im selling it remember? lol plus i aint spending that much on it... im only payin 400 total... door jambs and everything, and no, its not maaco, im getting a better job... but still nothing show quality.. its the kinda paint job that you dont go on a killing spree after someone dares to rub their dirty little fingers on it.... lol

Re: What color?

but thats a 3rd gen, the only opposition is that white shows a lot more blemishes.... in my opinion anyways, think white is better for covering up a small dent?

Re: What color?

But the black shows every little imperfection also. Ide go with the blue if you dont want to do a real good job.

Re: What color?

the paint is going to come out nice... and the body is in great shape, i did all the work myself... so im not too worried about anything more than a small dent on the front fender... so ill probably do black, but possibly white or silver
