  • Need paint opinions

    I currently have the original royal blue metal flake paiont on my car, which is peeling off and fading away. I'm going to have the whole thing painted this winter, door jams and all, now that the new engine and trans are in.

    However, I'm still on the fence as to the exact color I want. I would like to keep it blue, but taking a shade darker suddenly seems interesting. What do you think? Someone suggested adding a touch of pearl to the blue, so something like that might be a hit as well, but I'm not sure yet.

    I like it the color it is.. Maybe some accent paint to compliment the blue.. Not sure what a good match is though...

      That is an iconic color for 3rd gen Camaros...I'd keep it as is.

      Maybe add white pearl 25th anny stripes?

        I agree with larry, I like it the color it is maybe bump up the mettalic a bit or just do a slight varience on the same color that makes it pop a bit more.

                    Keep the color it is, but then again this is coming from a guy who typically perfers a clean stock appearance. LOL

                      Thanks for your input guys...they all seem like good ideas. I have until tax return time to make my decision. A good compromise might be to keep the same color but add more flake...

                        I'd say keep it that color - it's a really nice color.

                            I would keep it. I like the white stripe idea. However, I would not paint the vents black... they will look like the cheap auto parts store vents from the "ricer section"
