Default Hot Pink Z28?

What would you guys think of that? I am just curious, my friend just bought herself a white 98 Z28 and was considering painting it hot pink. Would you feel sorry for the car, or would you say "Hot as she is, the car looks good in pink!"

I am pretty sure I talked her out of pink, but I still want to see everyones opinion. Other colors she considers are blue, like electron blue or sonic blue, just a few shades lighter, and maybe a hue of orange that has more red in it than hugger orange.

If you have any other suggestions for a good color, post a pic of your car if you have a non-stock color.

Thanks!

Manny

Pink is a nono for that car, but I've always liked the Viper Steel Grey. The next question is, any pictures of this hot girl?

Is she Blonde? Only a blonde can pull off the look of a hot pink car. I thank got the you got her to change her mind on the pink. Tell her to do purple, DrEvyl has got some SICK lookin puple T/A's and a purple Camaro would probably be pretty tight.

That's the only picture I can come up with right now.

And yeah...she did consider silver as well. Is metallic paint a lot more expensive than regular paint?

This is gonna be intersting...trying to decide on a color that is. In a way...pink would be very unique. She also wants a cutout, SS hood, different front lights and marker lights, and she asked if she can have my cam and for me to get a bigger one....lol...how you like that?

Just about pink anything looks cool with a hot blond *except* when it comes to automotive. I find attractive women do good with the pink Roxy stickers and so forth on their car but have you ever actually seen a car painted hot pink? I haven't, but I once saw a CBR 600 painted pink. Girls with the pink bike scheme look awesome, but the bike itself made me want to puke. If a girl was to go nuts and make a hot pink car there *has* to be a 2nd color involved, otherwise it's like one huge eye sore driving down the road. Sure it will turn heads, but they will be vomiting while staring IMO.

I would say for her to stay with white and get some Pink flames, maybe like ghost flames and then do some more pink accent. I think it will help her get enough pink to like it and make her look even better yet I dont think she even has a problem looking good as it is

Well...maybe pink with silver stripes? Hmm... I love driving my car, but driving it with her in it is just sooooo much better! LOL Her car is currently at my house while we wait for the title, she is still driving her 95 white V6 Camaro with polished Z06 wheels. Obviously we're keeping the Z06 wheels.

Does anyone have a Camaro with a unique color and post some pics?

OMG......wow...thanks for the pic! Is that really pink or photoshopped?

Funny thing is...she had a Mustang GT like that one for about a month before she got rid of it again. That one was Mineral Gray though.
