Paints on Chevrolets

I know the cars/trucks may suck, but I think Chevy has the prettiest blues and burgandies of any manufacturer.

i agree GM has some of the best colors out there. however time will tell on the quality of paint. in the early 90's(about 90-93) their cars kept peeling and flaking off. I have a friend who had a chevy Corsica bought brand new in 92(now I do agree it's a POS but listen to me out). about 3 years( in 95) it's flaking takes it back to the dealer. they have one of those inhouse body shop/paint stations. paints the first time, drives about a year, same thing happens again. paint peeling. takes it back. they shoot it again. drives about 18 months. this time they said it's gotta be something the owner is doing. he went around and around with them. to the point he got a lawyer. his house is on a parade route for labor day. he put a sign up on the car that says IF YOU DON'T WANT YOU CAR TO LOOK LIKE THIS DON'T BUY A CAR FROM -------- CHEVY DEALERSHIP. then after the parade they paid another body shop to shoot it and it's been fine since then. but 3 GM paintjobs that B.S.

The blue on the full sized trucks rock...

This isn't the best pic to illustrate the color, but my step-dads K2500 has one of my favorate blues (2nd to only the Daytona Blue on the 350Z).

I have a friend who has a car with a similar blue on her cavalier. I have a zippo that is "mood blue" and is almost exactly the same.

this is a sidenote related to honda's paint:
my dad works for Honda so he tells me all the Honda news and whats going on at Honda.
Marysville just 6 months ago to a year ago just went to a "dry paint" process. I forget how much Honda paid to switch the paint booth from the old(which they built in '82 i believe)(it was old as hell i know) wet paint to this powder paint.
I talked to him about Honda going to new "exciting colors" he said he thinks since they went to powder paint more "exciting" paint color choices in on the way.
BTW: the Civic Si bright blue is the best color Honda has

their burgandy is HOT




here's a blue Z06 I did a few months back




since I detail a ton of cars I get good experience w/ different paints. GM is one of the better ones IMO right now. But that said, NO ONE does a good job these days, but what do you expect when you rely on robots. Orange peel is present on almost everything, even bentleys
