Default Extreme Trans Am Colors

I have recently been thinking over and over again about what color I want to paint my Trans Am after my front end conversion is done. I have been back and forth between black, white, and midnight blue. I just cant make a decision. Lately my mind has been swaying toward the more unique side, so lets see some extremely colorful and unique LS Trans Ams.

Medium Blue Metallic or Hugger Orange.


Bright Purple Metallic is my favorite 4th gen color.

If you want a deep rich color I would suggest a deep deep Red very close to a black cherry.
Or I like the Synergy Green idea but make it a bit darker.

Not a huge fan of the hugger orange, and I was thinking about a dark blue metallic, but I decided I want something less common.

Yeah I completely agree with you. I saw a deep red that made my jaw drop. Not sure though. Ive been going back and forth every 10 seconds.

Mine is SOM. So I am bias to the color. But I do love the Deep Purple Metallic or the Black Raven (You see them on Cadillacs, like a cherry black color.)

That green is hideous! I'd go the orange color on SSick's Camaro, a very nice silver(not grey), or possibly the electric blue the c5 z06's were.

Black cherry sounds good. As far as any red, I hate just "red". It's gotta have some metallic or depth to it, like a cranberry red or burgandy. I had a mercury cougar that was a nice cranberry red, it looked gorgeous in the sun with a nice coat of wax. I love Hugger Orange, but only on the Camaro, you can't rock that color on a Bird IMO.

I really like blues though. I love the NBM on my car, but if I were to repaint I'd go a brighter shade, and maybe add a touch of flake or a pearl clear. Something to make it pop. I actually really like the blue that's on the Chevy p/u next to the Synergy Green SS in the thread posted by Ocala.

Or even peal white with blue stripes, like the 30th T/A, or the single wide blue stripe like the the 2nd gens had.

If I didn't do blue, I'd seriously consider charcoal or gunmetal grey, as I loved that color on my GTA, and think it would look great on a 4th gen. I think that color with some ghost flames would look SICK.

Gunmetal works good with chrome or black wheels
