Default 1968 Camaro paint direction poll.

I think I want to try something different without going overboard on price.
I dont really wanna be another camaro with stripes oh wow havent seen 9/10 1st gens with that before. I most likely will end up going with 1 solid color unless I can come across some scheme that looks nice over the next year or so.

I would do a color and stripes package off the new 2010 SS before anyone else does.

You don't see the DX1 strip on a 1st gen camaro very often.

My friend has a 68 camaro, solid color, no emblems, marker lights, chrome rocker covers, and no antenna, it looks really good. He was thinking about a stripe, but it looks really good as it is. The color was the cordovan maroon metallic or something like that from Dupont.

Thumbs up

I voted other.
I think the bumble bee stripe looks best on the '68. Just my opinion.
( I do believe it is called the bumble bee stripe. The stripe that wraps across the tail end of the trunk and rear of the car.)
