Do you own a "Flame Red Metallic" Camaro? Post Pics Here
I just picked up an '89 LO3 in "Flame Red Metallic" I cant tell what the pain looks like because I'm missing most of my clearcoat, and whats left of the clear lacks luster.
I would like to see some pics of a freshly painted, or good as new Flame Red Met. Camaro. If it looks good, I'm going to save myself the trouble of jambing the car out and painting it 2003 50th Corvette Red Met Pearl.
So Come on! Lets see what you've got!
Please?

Heres what my car looks like now BTW...
Oh and where is everyone getting these 5" tall rear spoilers for our cars?! I know Camaroguy18 made his own... but I'm starting to see more and more of them, like they are being manufactured. Regardless... They look hot!

wow, thats nicer then I expected! thanks a lot! I'll definately be painting the car the stock color over again!
Sorry to hear about your car... what happened to it? Do you happen to have some more pics of it?
And I have 1 more question... I heard that the Z-28 rear bumper emblems will not fit on an RS rear bumper. Is that true?

I didnt know the name of that color was Flame Red Metallic. Thats what color my old 89 RS was. To be honest I was never really into that color, probably because mine looked like yours with the messed up clearcoat. Ah the memories ...

I like our factory color a lot! I'll be repainting it that color! Saves me the time of clearing the engine compartment out
Where do I get the color code from?

I really appreciate all of the responses, and I have chosen to paint my car the stock color again.
So does anyone know if a Z-28 badge will fit on an RS rear bumper? I heard the outline of the badge is a differnt size... and you acually need a bumper from a "Z" to have a Z badge on an RS. It doesnt make sense, but someone told me that they dont fit...
I know the badges on the side skirts and dashboard are the same... why wouldn't the rear bumper be??

I put a 92 Z-28 (bowtie) grille on the car today and some 100w fog lights. Here's some night shots I took about 1/2 hour ago...
What do you think?

Front springs are compressed, so it sit's a little low in font, but still rides great... so I got "free lowering springs"
Yes, they are H4 headlights, but the headlights arent on in those pictures, those are crusing lights that I have wired to my parking light cricuit.

just from being 16 years old, they are squished a little, the rear sits at stock height, thats why it looks like the front is so low.
