Gray Metallic
Hey folks, will you post pictures of Gray Metallic cars? 89 and earlier had this color and it was discontinued early in 89 My dilemma is my 89 is that color... but in bad shape, and I would love to see how they look when they are right. I checked previous threads and can't find much info Thanks

If you are looking for the dark grey metallic I have pics. I'll email you some if you want just pm me. I'll get around to reading about posting pics someday but I don't get to much time to play on the net lately.

I have days that I hate the color and want to get it repainted black
then sometimes I look at it and it does not look bad.
One thing is there are not many of them that color.

I have the medium grey metallic on my 85 and in excellent condition. I'm a dunce on loading pics though. When in nice shape it is really a beautiful color. Doesn't show dust at all.

Medium Smoke Gray Vert
I also have a '89 Medium Smoke Gray Vert. According to my build sheet, it is code 90 U. The interior is Smoke Gray 90 I. Black Top. Only 63 verts made in that color. Puts it in the scarce to rare category!
I love the color combo. Good luck with your restoration!

96U Charcoal Metallic
People with grey Vettes do not seem to take many pix.
I found these of the Charcoal Metallic.
Since this is the original color of my '89 I think I need to repaint it like original.
