Steve- I like that color also. I am having a '68 restored and considered a few different greens. Are you going with a vinyl top? There is a website that shows lots of "diecast" camaros at : diecastmusclecars.com
there may be a few green ones on there. It's a pretty good way to see different colors. If not, google: frost green, (year), camaro. I also considered Gold with black Z stripes

I have been thinking about Cortez Silver for my 68 but I think that I would like it if it were about three shades darker and have a touch of dark blue in it, then add the black Z stripes... I am contemplating making it a Z clone, simply because I like the z28 logos... Since it's a restomod anyway, i don't feel like I need to stick with the originality as I would like to... So if I can't have an original car, I want someting that is bad bad bad.......

personally, I'm still waiting to see someone put yellow houndstooth or gold delux in their '69 to show how "different" they can be. I chose daytona yellow (w/black z stripes) for my project but couldn't pull the trigger on yellow interior. STEPHEN: I was talking to a guy at a show the other day who had a Z Clone. He says he's taking his badges off because he's tired of explaining it to people. You may want to see if you can get "adhesive" Z badges that will come off when you want. I know they make the adhesive numbers for that purpose. I'm thinking about getting black "383" for mine.

The frost greens and fathom greens are kind of rare now-adays, and they both look great.:beers: The cortez silver looks great as well, especially with black stripes. So whichever you decide, I am sure you won't be disapointed.


FYI: If you click on the cardomain site for my '69 below it is fathom green(57).:thumbsup:

My code 59 is going back to factory after I am done with it. I am a fan of the frost and fathom greens.

My Coupe is a 59 59B car with a 711 interior and fold down rear seat.

Gotta love those earth tones! Yes, they are rare these days...

That car looks awesome with the stripes and the vinyl top. Beautiful. Mine was originally Fathom...many decades ago.

Yeah... I don't blame you... Mine was ermine white.... I think i'm gonna go with something else... The white w/ orange stripes doesn't look bad but I don't think that i want that color scheme...

You can photo-chop it to get a rough idea what it will look like.

My '69 was originally Frost Green. When I had it in the paint shop they found a lot of it still in places on the car. I am not a fan of that color so I chose a green closer to the dark green that was offered.

Mine is supposed to have the vinyl roof. That will go back on too.
