hey guys, just wanted some help trying to figure out what color to paint my 72 camaro. i need to decide in the next week or so, as im almost ready to spray the firewall (body color, smoothed ). im thinking fire red, yellow, white, orange or even a beige shade. the kicker is that the interior is going to be a light tan or beige. if u have pics of yours, lets see them. oh yea, mine is on a pro touring theme(setting low, 13 in disc all around, 17in summit legends(torque thrust-ish) thanks.

 

u can see my 2 tone color scheme on my 70. This is candy paint and its more of a show/cruiser car. But If your interior is tan, red would still go great with that! But then again so would yellow! Keep us posted on what u decide.

 

thanks for the input...... very nice ride, by the way......come on guys, lets see some more !

 

what was the orig, color combo?

 

green w covert (tan) interior. it was a 307/ powerglide plain jane camaro.

 

My 73 is factory yellow with white interior. I am in the process of full restoration and motor swap. The exterior is going back yellow and the interior is going to be black. If you are staying with tan interior I would go with either orange or red.

 

You have a real nice 1970 f-body bro. Thats my favorite year for the f-body. I told my wife I got to have me one, one of these days .

 

I am planning a 2nd gen LSX project. I too would like to see what everyone is doing with color.

 

Not an early 2nd gen but this is my 78, galaxy silver w/ charcoal stripes.

 

well ive picked a color. its one of summits 1 stage paints`, moca frost pearl metallic. its not silver, gold, or tan. my sample spray on an old fender shows it looks like all 3. im gonna run black runway stripes and am trying to close the deal on a set of custom set of billet specialies street lites that are powdercoated black w polished lips and spoke recesses . 17s. hope it turns out ok. im going to use the front and back seats from a 4th gen camaro in tan leather. it will look different anyway.

 

Primer Grey

 

Different is good! Thats why we did 2 tone. Its the only one like around! Unique!

 

agreed....70-73 camaros look good in every color ive seen them in. i just dont want mine to look like any one ive seen.

 

My 70' Camaro Z28 is competition orange w/gold pearl & purple passion z28 stripes of 4 coats of clear. I love it & get lots & lots of compliments.

 

nice ...im looking to go a little more under the radar though. really bright street cars get alot of attention, not alway from the friendly type.

 

I agree, Bright orange is not under the radar. That is why I titled it as race car only. So bright on the strip is good & looks great in pictures.

 

agreed 100%
