Default Cyber Gray c4?

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has slapped some z06 cyber gray on thier c4. If you have plz post a pic just eyeballing the two pics I think it would be pretty sweet.

I think it would be a good color for a C4. The problem is if you "slap some paint on" it is most likely going to look like crap. A good complete color change paint job is going to cost more than most C4s are worth these days.

It would probably look good! If you give me a higher quality shot of your car I can attempt a paint transplant... Never done it before with a specific paint so who knows how it will come out

Several years ago I saw a C4 with similar color paint, except had a little more blue in it...sort of a steel blue/gray. The owner said it was a standard color. It was beautiful.


EDIT: this is it: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-g...ue-photos.html

I guess it's not as dark as the Cyber Gray, but it's close.

In 91 they had a color called "charcoal metallic" (OEM code 96) that looked close to the cyber gray. I had one, but painted it red





Here was my 91

when I had my 92 Vert, there was a fellow Marine with a 90 Charcoal Gray. He took care of it, it was NEVER dirty and it looked bitchen.

I would try and find a C4 with good paint because it isnt cheap to paint a Vette... But if you know how to paint then there isnt a problem

love that color. I think I've only saw one in person that color.

cyber grey would look great on the c4 also. I remember reading about one guy who owns a c5 painted it a 70/30 mix of spiral gray/cyber gray
username is JPM
here it is:


I think that combo would look great on a c4 also
