    Color Change

    I am going to paint my car this week. I'm trying to decide on the color. Right now its quasar blue, but I wanted to paint it black cherry, then I wanted it black with brandywine flames, now I want the car brandywine. Can you take a picture of a 93-97 camaro (I have a 95) and photoshop this color into it:

    I know it won't be a real looking photo due to the fact the paint gets darker/lighter when the light hits it a certain way. I would also like the input of fellow members of the color on a 95Z

    95 Z-28- a little something more that stock...

    Well, this is about as close as I can get... its the metallic in the pics of the car you posted that throws it off I think...

    I don't like color changing paint at all.

    Thanks for the picture. Today I checked prices and the color change paint was $758.60/ quart. The brandywine was $46 and the orion silver was $32. I talked to the painter and he said candy was hard to paint due to the fact it has to be a dead even coat throughout the whole car or you can actually see the base coat. He said you don't shoot candy to cover its more like a dark tint. When I get back from vacation I'll shoot some pics and post them here.
