Custom Paint Picture Thread
I love custom paint (obviously) but haven't seen (or found) a Thread just for the guys and girls who've had their ThirdGens custom painted.
Color?
Flames?
Stripes?
Lets see them

IMO the old school flames on 3rd gens look so trashy it's not even funny.

Well, you can't have a custom paint thread without the two tone Camaro's.
Here's mine.

Hard to see but here is my dark green with emerald, green and silver pearl 'bird
This is from the first wash after I got it, it really shows the pearl effects in the paint.

Re: Custom Paint Picture Thread
If I can interject a thought. And believe me, I know that even a single custom color change creates likes and dislikes (I have never owned a car that fell in between love and hate) but sometime, its not a "busy" as much as "heavy". Mine is def a "heavy" paint scheme and worst is, its still not completed. Although it is at this point (cleared in pics).
But point is, line between heavy and busy, heavy means a lot....busy reflects the layout, busy being confusing or as if your lost, maybe over welmed in what your viewing. Heavy is just big and mass in what's painted....
Surprisingly enough these words are industry words.
With mine, I wouldn't call busy...its very thought oriented and its layout, but the paint job is heavy.
I mention this nor because its my car, but becausei like the thread to be geared towards custom painted 3rdgen of all degree and style.
And personally. ?..I really don't like busy or open ended schemes...ex: bio mech with hoses that go no were and a 1000gears that do nothing but float...of course, I want everyone to feel comfortable and confident to post your car. So if you have bio mech camaro...still wanna see it

Custom Ralley Red with Custom Black Racing Stripes both containing Crystal Red Pearl.
With the Pearl and Synthetic Polymer I use gives it a glass appearance.

Re: Custom Paint Picture Thread
Really like the double stripes catching the fwd turns like that. Bumper to bumper stripes always create a cool look, but am wondering if the pinstripe is painted too....looks good, thanks for sharing

Re: Custom Paint Picture Thread
Well if I may! Suggest....sickest I've seen yet is paint block and intake to match engine bay with valve covers painted to contrast! So nice and with motor already out!
