I agree with the consensus, the darker. The lighter is just to vanilla and bland for a muscle car. It's like painting your walls swiss coffee. (In real estate that's the safe bet for walls to please everybody)

Well, someone thought it was a good idea. Stormtrooper AR15



Back to the Camaro, I'd go with darker shade as well.

Default Hi Curtis.

Hi Curtis, The picture Skip has just posted looks really sweet. About a week or so ago I emailed you a link showing a 2nd gen, from memory it was a similar shade and you commented your wife even liked it. 😊 I reckon there would still be enough contrast with a black stripe. That's my latest favorite mate.
Cheers.

I am leaning towards the darker of the two. Still have a few more I'd like to look at before I decide though.

I do like that green, but....as strange as this sounds, I think it would look better on a 68. I know....weird.

I really like Mike Reckley's 67. It doesn't seem to dark or to light to me. Haven't seen it in person, but it seems well balanced and doesn't flip to much from what I can see. If I could find something similar, I'd be happy.
