C7 Repaint

At Stingray Chevrolet today on I4 they had this green vette which was a repaint not a wrap and the purple matt which appeared to be a wrap.

The car did look great in the green.

I also liked it in the purple just not sure I would be brave enough to own it.

That Lamborghini green was posted earlier in the week. I think it looks awesome. Just not for me.

Not into purple at all.

Matte purple with the black looks good - until - you see that the interior is red. Too many colors.

I like the purple, not with the red interior though. And I could never be seen in it.

The purple reminds me a bit of the "Violet" or "Evening Orchid", GM used on the Chevy and Pontiacs 1965-1967. Loved it as a kid, I still kinda like it.

Saw the green on here and liked it. Like the purple but probably like it a lot more if it had just about any other color interior--gray, black, Kalahari, not sure about brownstone, but not blue.

Actually... not true. You would just have to get yourself a pink shirt and trousers to wear when you drive it.

Those are colors that I’d enjoy for a couple weeks, then they’d start to get old. Just too much “in your face” for the long run. Just an opinion here. Don

I can't decide which one is more hideous. It's a toss up.

The green is interesting. I'd like to see more C7s in bright colors.

I saw a Lamborghini Aventator in the same matte purple wrap in Miami last week. Just looked dumb in my opinion. Then again, I didnt see the driver. It might work for a hot chick.

In keeping with the age old advice "if you can't say something nice...." I will just say that I couldn't live with either color.

Kind of like this Robin Egg blue A-M Vanquish....but my 8 year old daughter absolutely LOVED the color.

PS. I just showed my daughter this thread. She said I should get my Corvette painted purple!

Isn't that purple Matte?

My brother had a van painted like the green Vette. Sure got a lot of attention.

Here's another wild looking C7 I saw while surfing the net.
