Thanks for the ideas guys.... I just never have had an eye for color......

Red, blue or black if you are going to sell it. Purple WON'T sell!!! Had a prostreet 71 Nova, BBC, Tubbed, full cage, 4link, 9" rear, full interior...NICE car! Painted purple w/some mild graphics. Could NOT get rid of it, $9500 was the asking price and it was all less than 2 years old! Ended up trading for some cash, another car, and some parts. That guy had it painted red and sold it within a week of being done for $15500!!!!!! If its for sale, go subtle...

My wife says PURPLE!!! No stripes. But with the dark silver to charcoal trim.

If I was to keep it, I would go with the purple also. You have it, save the $$$

I don't like all black suspension parts, unless I'm trying to blend it in, to hide it.

Yeah, just having a gallon of the purple stuff already gives a lot of points in it's favor vs. buying more paint!!!! Stuff is really getting expensive!!!!

Hey Dave ,
Is the purple a dark shade or a light shade , inbetween shade?

Is it more to the red side or blue side of purple ?

Charcoal goes with just about any color if its a real dark purple , then a bright to a mid silver will look good , 2 darks IMO doesnt look right .


But with painting it purple will limit the people to buy it . The tried and true colors , Red , Black , Silver , White , and Blue appeals to many , orange , yellow , green , gold , Brown appeal to another select few , People that like Purple walk to a different beat all together ........ LOL , Like me , My every day driver is a Purple Pearl 1999 Toyota Tacoma Pre Runner I purchased new , one look at it on the show room floor I had to have it

So I will trade you 2 Iwata LPH-400 LV & LVB paint guns for the camaro when its done Heck I'll even throw in my Iwata W-400 Lv2 gun to sweeten the pot ........LOL

Well, in the can it's kind of a medium to light Purple, appears to have a lot of metallic and a decent amount of pearl in it.... Next time I'm out there I'll remember to get the color number and name off the can..... It's DuPont Chromabase, so I would imagine the color would be easy enough to adjust a bit, then of course the color of the base would probably change it, too.......

Heck, I've got so many mods on the body now that I've pretty much limited my market as much as it could be limited!!!! It's a cinch none of the Camaro purists would ever consider buying it!!!!!

Friend of mine was over for a bit today (til his wife caught up with him), sez he's going to stop by tomorrow... He's a younger fella, but has a good eye for design. Try to put some sort of plan together for a grille and headlight surrounds......

I think tinting it with the right toners will be alright , just be careful of not turning it muddy that is if your not happy with the shade it is now .
A Dark to Mid Charcoal will go good with a light to mid purple shade .

With no remark on my paint gun offer , you must be thinking it over
