Too many hrs searching... help me choose my paint please!
Ok... I've been searching for way too long. I'm not finding much. I'm about to paint my SS, and I've yet to decide which color. I think I've narrowed it down to three.
Cadillac Diamond Pearl w/Flat black Berger, Wheels, Hockey Stripes, & Roof
I love this idea, only problem is the huge cost of the paint. Something like this ( https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ss+white+pearl ). Or this ( https://ls1tech.com/forums/attachmen...4&d=1153837670 ).
Electron Blue Pearl (Honda color, from 99-00 Civic Si) w/White Hockey Stripes, and body color Roof and Berger
I cannot find a single Camaro painted in this color anywhere... Anyone have any pics?
Dupont Chromalusion Blue w/Flat Black Berger, Roof, Wheels, and no stripes.
I can't really find any info on this color. I know the Chromalusion series is the Chameleon stuff, which isn't very cool in my book, but after seeing this picture...

... I am in love with that color. A non-changing version of it would be great. Does anyone know anything about this car, or the color?
What do you guys think? I'm definitely open to suggestions. BTW the car has a Mecham 4-port Hood ( http://www.mechamperformance.com/d_i...lueFrontLG.jpg ) and will be getting a Mecham spoiler before it gets sprayed ( http://www.mechamperformance.com/d_docs/s_CAMg4f.html ). It also has Black ZR1s and T-Tops. And this interior ( https://ls1tech.com/forums/removed-locked-thread-graveyard/771981-new-black-white-leather-pics.html ) which kinda limits my color choices, though I think it'll look good with some blue colors.
Thanks in advance, guys.

Finally found a bit of info on that car in the pic... it was a feature in GMHTP. The paint is Dupont Chromalusion Blue Steel (KK785). It look horrible at other angles... does anyone know of a normal blue that would match that, or how I could come up with it?

I thought about trying to do some kind of stripe on that hood... asked around some, and I've come up with nothing that would look decent. I think the hood's gonna stay a solid color with the grills blacked out.

That Sonic Blue is ok... but it's never really caught my eye like the other three I've mentioned.
Just got an email back from a Dupont Color Specialist. He said the closest match he could find to the Chromalusion series Blue Steel in the pic, is Dupont code BM099, so I'm going to be looking into that.
