67 Camaro "The Victim"

I'd say the lighter one. Gives you option to do darker accent colors if you add striping or race line graphics.

I should have started a poll.

Curtis, I have been following this discretely and just wanted to help out like the rest of the guys! I say lighter....

Either one will look great. With the attention to detail Jim has given this thing and the insanely cool parts you have going into it, it is destined to be bad ass!

With the attention to detail that Jim has given the car, I'd like to pick something that won't mask that. Thanks for following along Bud.

That actually crossed my mind. More so Black with White Z28 stripes. That lasted about 12.6 seconds. Way to hard to take car of and keep looking good.

Darker cars do have their appeal. Cole your car was a great color before the repaint and it does have it's draw. My concern is going to dark.

This is exactly what I've been thinking. At the end of the day it's all about balance.

So here is the lighter one. Silver Sand Metallic


The darker is Luxe Metallic. Yup....both Lincoln colors.


Doesn't look like a huge difference in the pictures, but seeing them side by side in the same light you really see it. The Silver Sand shows a bit of tan-ish tint to it in the right light. And the Luxe really changes in the bright light looking awesome, but it drops off and looks blah in the shade or on an over cast day.

I have a few more in mind, but these are the starters.

How about "Plum Crazy"...... because that's what you're going to be by the time you finally pick a color.

Updates are coming in a lot more frequently! I take that as we are getting closer and closer to the end goal. Well...Jim's end goal. He passed my expectations a ways back.

Love how the light sits on the body line like that.






Jim really paid attention to our first conversation about the car when I told him that I am always really impressed by the trunk gaps on a build. Pretty sure that's why I get so many pictures of this. Not that I'm complaining!






Have a good day!

No kidding. I wonder how long it will take me to shake the habit of looking at every silver car I see.

Hi Curtis. As Flash pointed out already 4 out 5 will choose the darker colour, and he's been pretty much proven correct. I personally prefer the lighter shade and the black bumble bee and tailpanel it will contrast a lot more, you might lose some of the effect on the darker colour. Just my 2 cents worth mate.😊
Cheers Trevor.

Either way you are painting it an old fart color.

Curtis,

Have Laurie pick the color.

That way, if you don't like how it turns out, at least we won't ever have to listen to you complain about it publicly.

Curtis ... my .02 cents ..... just wrap it! Easy color change if you change your mind!
