I like it!,,on a side note, what green is that, I am thinking of redoing mine in a year or two so I am pondering. 
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

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.
best so far 8.53 @ 158.59 MPH 60'1.240

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.

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!!)

sorry that you are disapointed i understanfd its wasnt all of your idea, that being said i think car is just fine, but i like my cars like that 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

It looks very nice. 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.....  
If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......
