Default Cool Colors for a C4

If you have a unique or really cool paint color can you please post some pics. This one is obviously not a C4 but I think the color is pretty wicked: http://www.mallettcars.com/images/fo...nslimeturn.jpg

I'm not trying to be a purist but certain colors look good only on certain cars. I think Ontario Orange is great on a C3 shark but wouldn't care for it on a C4 or a C2.

Mine's a Charcoal Grey base with metal flake. I think it's pretty cool. So do the ladies

This color looks bad-***. Like Larry said, you would really have to see it in person to fully appreciate it.

Daffy427 just painted an '85 orange. I think it's the '69 Camaro color. I'll try to find out if he's got any pics of it. It looks great, too.

I would love to see a C4 in orange.

How about my 36th Anniversary Silver GS Collector's Edition? It turns heads everyday around a local college.

Code 69, Medium Brown Metallic. 1 of 98 verts made in 1987.


Wheels and tires are headed to a Forum member in San Antonio even as we speak. New AFS black chrome ZR1s and Sumitomo tires should arrive first of the year. I can't wait to see how those 315s look on the rear!

My charcoal metallic looks pretty good.
They made about 4,000 of them between 1987 & 91.

Default Interesting car

That is one interesting car but not really what I had in mind. However, it did make me smile.
