I don't have good pics of the Gun Metal Grey car, but it's very nice. Mine is the Medium Spiral Grey Metalic.

If I could go back and do it all over again, I'd go with this pewter like FlyingLow's 89 GTA. I think it's totally righteous.

one of the cleanest IROCs that I've seen/rode in:



Paint looks much much better in the sunlight.

I found it on the new C5 vette's. Not sure if it's been used on other gm vehicles. It looks nice in person. Digital pics usually give off a green hue that isn't seen in person. I liked it because it was darker than the gunmetal grey.

Then I saw the pewter... :hail:

That's my gunmetal grey GTA above, the paint has actually faded over the years, so it's more gray than gunmetal until i repaint it to factory again.
Here's a nice pic of a gunmetal trans am.

chrysler platinum, eh? it's still righteous. you must not have been feeling well when you decided to sell it...

***edit***

My car is medium gray metallic, (gunmetal?) looks ok to me as I don't want to attract too much attention, but these cars really stand out in a brighter color. Red is my first choice, white looks good, black - if really straight - is awesome. The gray, tan, mist green etc are more low visibility colors.

I love this color. Is Medium Gray Metallic the factory color? Don't see too many Irocs in that color.

well at some point in my 22 years of life i realised looks arent everything. I have a 383 LT1 sitting in my garage.....waiting to be put in something. and i sold the GTA to buy something to drive everyday/winter. Lookin at 2000-2001 Caddy STS's and similar year GTPs
