If the blue up top would have continued all the way down to the bottom of the car it would look good.

I kinda like it...but I would recommend finding a name for the car and putting something on the doors to break it up a bit

The neighbor says thanks.
This one may grow on me.........it looks alright , but I agree that it needs some lettering or a slew of decals to break it up.
And I am a self professed one color kind of guy.
It isn't fugly.......far from it.
The contrast in colors , despite of their relationship to each other , is pretty loud.
It might be as simple as some striping between them to soften it.
Like I said.........not horrible , just not my cup-o-tea.

I believe the 'yellow' should be 'silver' with something like a 'white' or real light color stripe instead of the (appears) red stripe to break the color transition... I like all the colors,,just not so much all at the same time.

You could paint it any color you want with that e.t. and I'd still dig it.

I know how tough it is to come up with an unique paint scheme.. But I like it.. I'll give ya a thumbs up



I'm in the middle of trying to paint my car and have been procrastinating due to my uncertainty on the paint colors/scheme..

Re: New paint Just wanted to see what you think about it - 01/20/11 06:43 PM

I would cover the yellow with a silver tear-away could eve n do it in vinyl. but I don't like it the way it is

Re: New paint Just wanted to see what you think about it - 01/20/11 08:01 PM

The green is new for 2010 It's on the new Camero. I'll reply to all of you who had comments about the car.

1. This was not my paint scheme I had it in blue with silver stripes on the side with a smaller purple strip next to the silver
2. The painter took it upon himself to come up with this.
3. I drove 600 miles to pick it up in the winter and didn't feel like going back without it my bad. Should have flown out and seen it first.

I just wanted too find out what your honest opinions are. Some days I go out to work on it and hate it others it's ok I'm not sold on it One thing there will not be another car on the track like it. But that may not be a good thing.

Every one that has seen it in person say they like it maybe they are just being nice.

In the photo I don’t like it. There still is some time to get it changed what would you do?

Thanks I do appreciate all your responses.

"2. The painter took it upon himself to come up with this."

then the painter would have done it for free, cause I wouldn't have paid for anything I didn't ask for...

Re: New paint Just wanted to see what you think about it - 01/20/11 09:37 PM

I don't want to be rude....but I hate it. Pick any one of those colors and it would be fine. Was your painter asked to come up with something on his own?
Posted By: Triple Threat

Re: New paint Just wanted to see what you think about it - 01/20/11 10:05 PM

Me being polite: Looks great Jess!

My honest opinion: Yuck. Take it back to get fixed.

If you didn't ask for the green I'd be taking it back to get redone how you asked. I agree with everyone else. Any one of those colors and it would look fine. But all of them together is not a good thing. I know you drove a long ways to get the car painted. But if you aren't totally happy with the car now you never will be. There is still nearly 2+ months until race season up here gets going.

Re: New paint Just wanted to see what you think about it - 01/20/11 10:05 PM

No just come up with the stripe scheme to work with the body lines send me a picture so I could see it. He never did. Last time I do it out of state.

Re: New paint Just wanted to see what you think about it - 01/20/11 10:09 PM

Personally,I like it. Now that being said,I think what YOU should do is be honest with yourself about it.If YOU like it,that is all that matters,if you think there is something that maybe should change or be different,again,that is your decision.But again,I like it,it's different(and I mean that in a good way ) and it's not going to blend into a sea of Mopar's painted all the muscle car colors of the 70's.(like mine!!)

Re: New paint Just wanted to see what you think about it - 01/20/11 10:57 PM

I like all those colors together, just maybe with alittle more imagination.

sorry that you are disapointed
i understanfd its wasnt all of your

i think car is just fine,

they are either in the 'old school'
way or new tradition way
you can see red blue green orange cars
all the time
but something that is off that
opens the eyes 'man thats diffrent '
i really think the car is really nice and most likley
looks even better out in the sun

Repaint the sides blue, (blend) to match the tops and add a white bumble bee stripe. Problem solved.

I like the color scheme. My car has a similar paint design also.

Since you asked for an honest opinion......I wasn't even going to reply....I've been trying really hard lately to not say anything unless it's good.......Personaly, I don't care for it, but like mentioned, all that matters is if you care for it, and apparantly you don't, so I'd do something about it so you WILL like it.....

I like the stance and stripe but the colors are stark. So, who's the Moparts Photoshop genius who can change the strip color and post some pictures?

Lose that ugly yellow stripe, replace/paint it the same color as the hood. Run some thin 1/2 or 1 inch stripes down the length of the green and it would tone it down some.
Posted By: QuickBpBp

Re: New paint Just wanted to see what you think about it - 01/21/11 04:28 AM

If your stuck with those colors maybe air brushing door handles and side markers in will break it up alittle and make it look better maybe even air brush the thin rocker mouldings in....It needs something else I wouldn't do the name on the side...

Re: New paint Just wanted to see what you think about it - 01/21/11 04:34 AM

I myself thinks it looks good But its how much you like is whats most important. I like different, something nobody else has and maybe thats why i like it so much. I see alot of guys saying repaint the yellow silver and silver to me is

Re: New paint Just wanted to see what you think about it - 01/21/11 05:06 AM

The car would look awesome that blue on top with a white swinger stripe! Nice colors but not the right scheme for them. We need to get it fixed Jess!
Posted By: wicked

Re: New paint Just wanted to see what you think about it - 01/21/11 08:28 AM

Not really feeling it. I don't think you'll be totally happy until it matches your "vision" of what it should have been. The yellow stripe overpowers the paint job instead of complimenting it. Painted right to the body lines hides them instead of accentuating them. Nice car though

If that is the green paint that is on teh new Camaros then your pic is not doing it justice at all. That color is really nice and you cant tell that by looking at your pic.

I like the blue and I like the green but not together in any combo. they just don't match and neither deos the yellow for sure.

This picture of the thin pin stripe would look good if you put some sort of bend or wave to the stripe, brought the blue down to the middle of the rear tire or vise-versa. Would look good imo.
