Default ZL-1 Paint Job Idea

im not sure if anyone has seen the fantom green zl1 camaro. i think its pretty sick. the car almost looks charcoal grey. so what i was thinking of, was painting my car charcoal grey with the black zl1 hood spoiler and hatch stripes and not the hockey stick stripes. the reason i wasent going to do the fantom green is because it looks similar to charcoal and if i painted the car charcoal it would match my 1981 z28. or do you guys think i should stick with the electron blue and red grand sport stripe paint job?

ive only seen one pic of the fantom green zl1 car. gmmg is in the process of sending me some pics of the car. and the electron blue with red grand sport stripes was a concept of mine. if you check out the berger cars there is a blue one with white stripes. my car isnt worth showing since its niether of the colors. its a complete color change. how do you put pics up on here?

the only thing i dont like is the white. i was never a fan of white stripes on any car. do you think i should actually paint the car fanthom green or do you think it would look cool charcoal grey and then have the center stripes in black?

i'm sure the grey with black would look good. I just think that green is a sweet color. you don't see to many of the Fathom Green.

yeah when gmmg sends me the pics ill decide. its hard to tell just from that one pic. im also going to spray some up at work if i can find the paint code. but i think their should only be one fantom green zl1 especially since mines i lt1 and not an ls1
