Have someone photoshop that color onto your car to see what it would look like. Honestly, I think it might be too much for that car. I couldn't imagine the entire car being baby blue. It would definately be different though. However, I can't really tell unless I see it.

Black is better IMO! The blue is too light.

Wow, well definitely would be a unique color.
I second the photoshop idea.
I think it could look pretty good though!

A Straight man sang that song, but I don't see a straight man driving that color around

How about public bathroom blue? Seems to be popular these days.

All joking aside, I think the color looks cool, but not on a car. Too much of the color. On a bike it looks sweet cus it doens't have much area to be painted.

Also going from black to that color will be HELLUVA lot of work = $$$.

Something that I would be very intrested in seeing. Seems like it might be a little on the light side, you can probably pull it off with have clear corners all around the car and nice chrome rims... the only thing is the red tail lights will stand out ALOT.

Photoshop that on a car? Do you know how insanely
long that would take? Color = easy. Color + that
much sparkle = INSANE!

Find some photos of medium blue metallic in the sunlight, even that color can look a little light.

How about something more traditional for a Camaro, like some of the 1969 colors:

Rallye Green (bright green)
Glacier Blue (similar to the color you like)
Dusk Blue (a navy metallic color)
Garnet Red (kind of blood red)
Lemans Blue (that would be cool!)

A lot of metallic in that paint, it's gonna look like metal flake and like early 60's gasser paintjob... I think it's too much and it might look ghetto.

I think it would look interesting. I'm very happy with my factory Medium Blue Metallic, though. I wouldn't want anything lighter.

If that's what you are going for (to be different), and baby blue is your favorite color, then make it work. Maybe with just a little less metalic in it though.

good luck with what ever you choose man! Remember, when it's all and said and done, it's your car, do with it what YOU like.

Bad 00 SS - Take a look at the newer Ford Thinderbirds, they make a color similar to the baby blue metallic on the car. I think it looks really good.
