Official 2010 Camaro Paint Colors Released

Andrew Didorosi — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 14:30:00 EST

We took the ten official 2010 Chevrolet Camaro paint codes and splashed them across a few cars for your full Technicolor viewing pleasure.

The available colors for 2010 are "Safe Bet" Silver Ice Metallic, "Statutory Grape" Imperial Blue Metallic, "Secretary Nail Polish" Red Jewel Tintcoat, "Rental Fleet" Summit White, "Always Dirty" Black, "You Bought A Camaro In That Color?" Aqua Blue Metallic, "Grandpa's Cadillac" Cyber Gray Metallic, "I Bleed American" Victory Red, "P***y Magnet" Rally Yellow and "Flame On" Inferno Orange Metallic.

Now, these aren't official images or anything. (Read: Please don't eat us, GM.) What is official is the paint brochure these chop jobs are based upon. You can cop your very own Official Camaro Paint Chip Card at your local dealer while limited supplies last.

What's The Worst Car Color Combination?

Matt Hardigree — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:40:00 EDT

Not all of us considered the blue-and-yellow of Jerry Seinfeld's Porsche 911 to be quite so bad, though that put us in the minority. We're also totally smitten with the grey and red velour of the 1971 Fiat 130 Coupe, but that may not be a commonly held taste. The snakeskin green + black + red of the 2008 Viper SRT10 is both garish and ridiculous, which actually makes it perfectly appropriate for the Viper SRT10. There may be nothing more frightening than the purple-on-purple Porsche, an eggplant abortion that only a Spice Girl or a true Porsche fan could love. Amazingly, everything mentioned so far came that way from the factory. We haven't even mentioned custom paint jobs. You tell us, what's the worst-of-the-worst in car-color combinations?

Report: New Charger to Come in Plum Crazy Purple, Sub Lime!

Canada's Windsor Star is reporting the next wave of Dodge Charger Daytonas will be available in two more colors from the retna-detaching palette used on Dodge muscle cars in the early 70s. Daytonas have been spotted at Ground Effects, the finishing firm charged with the last fittings of the limited-edition Daytonas, wearing the colors Plum Crazy purple (above, in approximate) and Sub Lime. Daytonas have already been sold in Go Mango and Top Banana. No word on when Grabber Green and Hemi Orange will appear. [Thanks to Peter for the tip]
