im so tired of sunset orange dude... by all means if you like it paint it that... im just so sick of that color... kool for the people who own one cause its rare... but at least do a custom orange if your going orange.... personally i think orange is wayyyyyy to popular of a color to do a color change... everyone is doin orange.... way cooler rare colors are medium blue met. and bright purple met... now those are cool colors you dont see alot...

Make it what color you want man, don't worry about the cops. They will look at you because you have a Camaro. I didn't let it influence what color of Z I got. I think stripes get more attention than color though. SOM is a good color, if you like it, do it!

I like SOM, which is why I got one. I don't know if I would paint my car SOM if I was going to paint it. It is a very nice color though.

I like SOM better than graphite, but are there any other colors you would consider? What would a Fierbird look like if painted Gunmetal? Also, I would think about a nice blue like Electron Blue or Admiral Blue.
