I changed out of a 19 Riverside Blue 19 SS/1LE into a White 18 ZL1. I have a bunch of Camaros but never a White one. I really like it!

Dig the sunset hue on the door.



I bought a white 1997 Z28 new back in the day
and she looked nowhere near as nice as the 6gen.

Thanks for the images !

I hate Sinamon Stick but it seems to be a popular new color. I like Sublime on the Challenger.

I enjoy detailing and really wanted hyper blue or the gray because when polished these look so good, but they are not as hard as black to maintain. After looking for ~8 months I ended up pulling the trigger on a summit white. I do think like some have said the black accents look the best with white.

The darker colors will pop more when really well maintained. white on the other hand will hide swirls, micro marring, and scratches much better. black is the worst for this, but gray and blue can also be pretty bad.

when white needs correction, it looks more dirty and less bright. if you want a lot of crazy gloss or pop, it is harder to get from white, but if you take your car through the swirlomatic (horrible, please dont lol), or have bad washing habits, it wont be nearly as noticeable on a white car.

some pics to help swing you either way lol... the professional pics are right after i bought it and the last pic is after i corrected and coated it.

i have been meaning to ask on your screen name - is it in reference to the commonly lost and frequently used socket size, the caliber (big fan) or something else?

Cruising near Sausalito in a Z, what could be better
Nice work on the detail.

White can reflect if maintained consistently.
I drive my wife nuts when I detail our vehicles.
She's slowly seeing the light though.

It belonged to a friend of my neighbor. He recently sold it. Glad some of the other members showcased their beauties. Those cars look fast even standing still!

I only buy white or black cars now. Those are the cheapest colors to wrap because you don't need the interior door jamb wrapped. Even if your exterior color is lime green, a white door jamb once the door is opened doesn't look too out of plate. Now a red car with a yellow door jamb is a different story.
