2 is my 1st choice since I always wanted a SOM fbody and I have arctic white also. I plan to keep my coolor but do some ppg crimson pearl ghost stripes.
I say SOM because it is a good looking color and also easy to blend if anything unfortunate ever happens like a scratch or small bumper scrape. also a lot cheaper to buy. I usually use all dupont at my shop.
Now if you have the money that HOK blue is awesome color, my.friend used the tangelo as one of the colors on his truck while nice I.don't think it is a fbody color. As far as accent stripes a gunmetal would make the paint POP in either a blackhawk style stripe or regular stripes on the RAM air hood. If you want full custom you could have the bird airbrushed on that blue.in 3 colors going from gunmetal to a dark silver.
Just my .02.

So it's orange or blue, huh? For a blue I like #5 but with orange I prefer a Tangerine Orange Candy with a silver base. But then again, Arctic White is SUCH a sharp color. I'd do some freshening up or re-do the paint, then CETA the rear bumper, remove door mouldings, mirror stainless vent grills, Corsa (or clone) dual-dual tips, lowering 1.5" front and 2.5" rear, HID projector headlights, honeycomb on reverse lenses, shave antenna, shave bumper side lenses, sand off the bird and "Trans Am" off the taillight center section, black mirrors and black sail panel, black underside of spoiler, 6LE front and side splitters, black chrome rims (I'd like C6 rims on a white car), polish calipers. While you're painting the car, don't forget to paint and clear the engine bay!

Color is such a hard decision for me.. I over-think the situation..
Myself, I own a red and SOM camaro.. I love SOM.. camaros are a dime a dozen.. but SOM vehicles are very few and far in between (atleast in my area).
i've also had an interest in Navy blue metallic.. before I got my SOM car, I actually had intentions on getting a NBM but ran up on the SOM instead..
Well, I know I haven't really helped with the decision much.. so I will say either NBM or SOM for a factory look.. or a lighter blue.. such as the blue camaro below.. (btw, I apologize for not knowing the name of the color.. but it is quite awesome though.. and this is not my car.. I found this picture on the net).
Good luck with your decision!

Though I like a lot of them, most have become trendy and over used. There was a thread about Kandy Hellfire which I thought looked killer. Some GM paints like Jet Stream Blue also really get me interested.

the oranges are sweetness SOM or hugger orange. the blues are pretty colors, but there's too many camaro's running around with different shades of blues.
I'm debating on painting my lt1 SS hugger orange with a black manta.
post pics when you choose
