i chose electron blue... but as stated by nhraman above...its alot of work and time and money (if your paying for the labor) to do a proper color change... engine needs to be pulled as well as all doors and hatch...alot of parts removal what not... to do it like that with all that removed and a correct show quality job your probably looking at about a 6-7 grand job...maybe more depending onwhere you go... just consider your self warned... with that said electron blue is a sweet color theres a gmmg camaro in that color on this sight if you search for it youll find it...

They started on mine today I'll put up some before shots and some during shots when i have a chance. He has to order a pass side fender and new headlights for mine so it'll probably be a couple of weeks before he's finished with it.

If you're looking to keep it all original for 20 years down the road keep Pewter, but otherwise I'd say EBM. Never seen it on a Vert before but would picture it would look very nice.

Default Electron Blue!

I'd go with the electron blue if you can afford it and if it'll make you happy! Think about it, I just priced a new 2010 Camaro 2SS package and it is almost 41K invoice and MSRP 44K+. Link below fyi!
