Default Need pics of plasti dipped Camaros.

Looking to dip a Camaro I just picked up. Have a few ideas on colors but I'd like to see some pics if 4th gen Camaros that are dipped already to get a feel. The car is an SS so but anything will help. Thanks a lot!

if you understand the colour wheel, you'll know what colours work good. Not trying to insult. for example red and black look good together. You want a colour that really makes the main colour pop.

My main issue with dip is its not uv rated, i know a few guys that dipped there cars, by the end of the year it looked very bad,2 guys even had it done at a so called pro shop, wrap might cost alot more but its such a better way to go, plus now they hae wraps that look like custom paint colors , ive seen a few killer jobs done @ paint is dead, i saw a few cars this year wrapped, i couldnt tell they were wrapped, prob going to get mine done in this color thats very close to syn green, prices range from 1800-2500 pending on what you go with,imo its worth looking into, and its still way cheaper than a paint job

Yeah I'm certainly not looking for a permanent deal, but $300 for a year of coverage till I decide on something permanent isn't bad at all. I have a buddy that wraps cars but for some reason, I really like the idea of the dip and making your own color.

I appreciate the input. I understand the color wheel and what colors look good together but not all colors that look good together look good on these cars. I kinda want a black with a deep blue pearl but I haven't seen too many cars with that at all.
