What color is the interior? I can't really tell from the pic, however the car looks really nice.
Right now there literally isn't an interior. Observe:
I'm going to resand down the interior, rewire everything, and get the interior rhino lined. The same stuff that they spray in the back of pickup trucks. I'm going to install a roll cage, custom aluminum dash and console. There really isn't going to be a proper interior.
I voted in favor of black, because with good bodywork and prep, and a good paintjob, it'll look great. But, if you half-ass the bodywork and prep, don't expect too much. With black especially, the quality of the prepwork done on the car is just as (if not more) important as the paint applied to it.
Agreed on the prework. Black looks like ass if not properly done.
I voted black, but if you really would like it teal then go for it. 👍
You can say that again! Prep work most usually sets apart the great/quality from the poor/dodgy body/paint work.
One thing I have learnt, Don't skimp or dodge on the prep work, it makes a world of difference in the end (not directly pointing at you JCE3000GT, just making points in general)
Agreed. I'm not going to half-ass the prepping of the car. The paint in the one thing that must be done @ 110% with me, I don't feel like having to repaint the car every few years.
Black doesn't really do it for me in that kind of Camaro... It's too common of a colour overall over here, too, which makes most black cars even more dull.
That first blue, on the other hand, is HOT. I'd say go for that if you want to stand out a little; black you just won't.
The teal is just ugly - it looks as if the car (or me) is about to throw up...
Black isn't as common as red or white around here. I had it black at one point and it looked ok, but it was just primer mind you. Black paint with some smoked tails/corners and those black plastic headlight covers might look sweet.
Out of the three choices, I'd pick blue without any hesitation. My favorite color for your Camaro is red though. I also liked white, maybe as much as I liked blue.
It was originally red when I bought it (OEM color) but I learned to hate red. Now I'd never get any shade of red for any car I buy. I just loathe red.
The blue would be my choice; if you're picky about the finish and appearace, then black always looks dirty or shows swirls. You've got to get those rear window louvers if you're not tinting it; quite the 80's aftermarket touch for any Camaro or 300ZX!
Teal is a bit of a trendy color to me; every automaker had their own version of it from 1991-1994 which killed off it's originality. In my opinion, the only teal color that ever looks good was the teal used on the 2nd-gen Integra GS-Rs. That last pic doesn't appear to me as "teal" to me on my monitor, though.
Teal is a tiny bit trendy, but I still think it looks good ont he 3rd gens. I couldn't find a better pic of the teal...you can't really tell in that pic.
I would say go for the teal, but if you choose blue, a nice bright blue that rivals WR Blue Pearl for visual pop is Dodge's Intense Blue Pearl (and it should be cheaper).
It is this color (it was on late 90s Rams, Durangos, and Dakotas).
I like that blue, if I decide to go with blue I'm going to have to sit down and list all of the blues that I like...which could take bloody forever.
Daytona Yellow/Tuxedo Black stripes? Glacier Blue/Ermine White stripes?
I like the Blue best, out of the choices you gave, but I think it's be cool with some retro colors. ;p
I originally thought of doing yellow with black stripes but it just would look weird to see a yellow 3rd gen. I can tell you that my favorite yellow is dandelion yellow from...guess what...the EVO.
...Well if we are going to talk blue on Camaros, you must go with the only blue that most die-hards love; Le Mans Blue...
(BTW: That is the color we are going to repaint my Dad's '68 once we strip her back down, patch the rust spots [the right way], and re-prime her)
LeMans blue is decent, but without seeing it already on a 3rd gen I don't know if I'd like it.
Maybe I should get samples of some blues and just paint a body panel or something to see how it turns out.
Thanks for the input guys. 👍
