Good color choice can't go wrong with that combo in my opinion.

If I was to paint my car any color, it'd be this:

That color just makes me drool. With either gunmetal or matte black stripes. I'd be in heaven.

I believe when I have mine painted, I'm gonna go back white also but with a SS hood and light silver 35th LE strips. Love that combo on our white cars.

OP, I'm trying to picture those colors on your car but can't put the two together. That's one I would have to see to be either 100% with or against, lol.

The first one looks good, but I think I like the Viper blue more.

While the first one looks good, it's a tad light for my taste.

What is "almost 100%"? Is that more like 98%?

You can't go wrong with that color combo. I'm definitely a fan of taking newer manufacturer colors and transplanting them to older hardware. I used Sonic Blue Pearl (a 2003-04 Mustang Cobra color) on my '85 Fox when I restored it.

The blue that you posted looks sick and the color on that bmw is pretty tight as well. I dont think you can go wrong with the blue you posted, i am also a huge fan of medium blue metallic.

That's like saying: 60% of the time, I'm right all the time...

Go for it. It's a great looking color and more then likely better on a old Camaro anyways.

Aqua Blue Metallic from the Camaros is a sweet color in certain lighting. If you dont know already though, this is a jekle n hyde kinda color though....in alot of lighting conditions this looks like green and not blue. The green really comes out on cloudy days and night lighting, the blue comes out in the sun.

I would go with Viper Blue as its a straight blue color. Jetstream blue is very close to what Aqua Blue looks like in the sun, without all the green overtones.
