So are you saying that it's rare? That would make my day. And that Iroc is awesome man. But hey, it's no 89 RS, so that makes 1 RS that I know of, 1 88 Iroc, and there is a 89 camaro w/o GFX on it that color around in a closeby town...so 2 w/ GFX and 1 w/o. Anyone else got one? I'm really looking for one some like mine year and all, but any will do since nobody can seem to provide pics but me and Rocky.

One of my old lab partners from college had a 90 RS, it was gunmetal with gunmetal gfx. It was an L03/auto combo.

There's a 91 RS v6 near me for sale gunmetal grey/grey fx. If it weren't for the price tag I'd get it to replace my dieing hunk of crap camaro.

I found my cars TWIN
DISTURBthePEACE my car is your cars twin.
I own an 89 RS Gunmetal Grey. Its a 305 TBI Hard Top.
I am currently working on the interior but plan to repaint
with an SS hood in the future. I would love to see more
pictures of your ride and other Fellow Gunmetalers...
:lala:
This is with ROH SNypers super imposed. I plan to order
these rims in the next week or so
I will have more later. I have a new digital cam but am waiting
for nice weather and my new Rims to take more...

My 82 Z has the same paint scheme. I think T-tops really set it off.
My car also has the full bra.
I have a pic of it but it needs a bath
If I can just figure out how to post a pic.....

Sweet, I love seeing all the gun metal cars show your firebird 88, I'd like to see it. I heard that it is one of the rarest colors on the Firebirds. All these seem to have pretty good paint on them. Here's a few more of mine for Bill. They're a little older, but hey, it still looks good. It was bad weather out this day and I had to get the digital camera back to school that day so I snapped these in about 5 minutes, so they're not the greatest. That thing hanging off of my rear view mirror is a warning for loud exaust/ecxcessive acceleration. He knew I had my stereo up over the legal amount, but he couldn't hear it cuz of my exaust so I didn't get written up for it. I hung it right as he handed it to me and that PISSED him off somethin fierce, but he's a d1ck anywayz, so im over it.

I use to have an 89 rs gunmetal with the color same skits, well I still do except its a blue/purple pearl colour now. Yes yes you are probably going to yell at me for getting rid of that gunmetal but it had to be done, I needed a change! But I will say I always did like that color combo really nice, especially with my grey leather!

What color did they switch to in 92. My stripes look like gunmetal grey. They are 92' medium mettalic grey. Just wondering cause the stripes look the same as your cars.

What a cool looking car! That' a sweet color. My car is also "medium gray metallic" or at least that what the sales sticker called the color.
Very nice looking car you have there…
Peace, love and happiness.

I have noticed that alot of people seem to be missing badges on the side GFX. Do they fall of that easily or is it just because the cars are old? Also, I haven't seen any with the light grey pinstripe on the side besides mine, anyone else have it?

Hey TFM4th, surprisingly enough (and I know I am going to catch some flack for this one) it is a Honda colour! Yes a ***** colour! From what I was told by my buddy who laid the paint down for me it was a special order on the 00/01 honda SIR's (ricejobs)
The colour is kinda screwed up cuz its got this weird pearl in it so sometimes it looks blue...sometime it looks purple.....sometimes kinda pink, sorta weird, but it looks good with the gray leather inside.
Another colour to think of if you are looking to change from the gunmetal to something kinda blue is the blue they painted the older Grandsport vetts or that nice blue on the new vetts, thats my 2cents.
