Default 1969 Frost Green Paint On 4th Gen Camaro

I came across this pic and I must say I was intriqued by how well it looks.
What do you guys think?

Reminds me of the Legend Liime on the S197 Mustangs.

Not really a fan of the color. Should stay on the classics.

I think instead of the white manta, use black, or go black top with black side view mirrors with a manta stripe on the hood and on hatch and tail and it would look a million times better.

Sorry man, not really a fan of that green as it looks like my kid threw up his baby split pea food! Just doesn't flow well with the car lines.

I like it, but the roof/halo/mirrors need to be black

That car is listed for sale in the detroit craiglist ads. But i found it searching under i think either 68 or 69 camaro in the auto sales section. Just in case anyone is interested in looking at more pics.

If the stripes are vinyl, i would remove the side and spoiler stripes, and just leave the manta stripe and have it matched and done on the spoiler. Just one style stripe, the two different kinds is distracting.

I think if i did the roof and halo black, i would delete the roof stripe as well, but leave the side mirrors color matched.

Looks like **** with the wheel choice and stripe layout. Roof stripes and c5z wheels look like *** on fbodies in general, but they compound the ugly here. The color looks great on classic cars, but when you try to use (bad) modern styling with it, it fails miserably.

Needs more traditional stripes (black would be better) and cast center torque thrusts to round off the classic look.

As it is, it looks like a mixed bag of bad ideas.

I think if you put some welds on it. With tinted windows (5%), black roof/halo, (possibly) mirrors and get rid of the stripes. You might pull it off.

Call me weird but I like it. It could be better with the black stripes and chrome wheel.(Please God, Let the black wheel phase go away)

I guess we have no taste, but I like it too. Maybe leave out the roof stripe but I think the wheels go great with color.

Definately agree . That color look really good with maybe a properly layed out white hockey stick, black manta and TT2's with matte or gloss gunmetal centers and a berger type billet black grill with a blue bowtie .
