Nickey Camaros - What color combination would you want?!

[JohnnyGMachine]

Stefano and Dennis wanted some additional color combinations of their hot new up and coming Nickey Camaros so I whipped up a few for them. Thought you guys wouldn't mind takin' a look at 'em maybe even give you some ideas for your own ride. What color combo would you want if you were ordering a Nickey Camaro?

Enjoy,
J

those are sick, i really like the silver with red

[LDB]

Tough choice, I like the black and red one except with black wheels. I say leave the bow tie left on the grill.

Nice work John.I always liked Black with blue stripes or Green with Black stripes.

[Jimmy Sean]

Black with flat black stripes or any color with same color flat stripes would be cool.

Ranked:
1. Black with Red
2. Blue with white (silver?)
3. Orange with white
3a. Orange with black
4. Silver with red (Maroon?)
5. Red with black
5a. Red with white (silver?)
6. Yellow with black
6a. Yellow with white

Nice job John!

Blue with white is killer. The black with red would be my 2nd choice. Awesome work, John. :bow:

[tones2SS]

GREAT JOB with the renderings!!!:thumbsup:
I'll take one of each,....please??!?!? But seriously, I like them all with the black stripe. The black is killer with the red stripe, the silver is killer with the black stripe and the hugger orange is killer with the black or white stripe, depending on interior!!!:thumbsup:
Now, like someone else had stated, I would like to see a black with flat black stripes!!:unibrow:
Again, great job on the renderings.:cheers:

[JohnnyGMachine]

Thanks guys. It's the original yellow rendering with some trick photoshopping...is that a word? LOL!

Ben I did play with some silver stripes a little but after 9 versions and it getting late I needed to get SOME sleep. I will be doing 2 more tonite...Stefano and Dennis want to see a black with white stripes and a red jewel with white stripes. I even tried a couple stripe combos ...like a white stinger and black side stripe or even a black stinger on the silver with a red side stripe was pretty cool.

I may do a Fathom Green version with white stripes and see how that looks. Probably my favorite GM color ever. If I had to pick any GM Muscle car to have in my garage...It'd be a 1969 Yenko Camaro in fathom Green Metallic with White Stripes. Man that just looks killer. I've been to Milt Robson's place a few times and he has an original one there never been repainted or restored just like what I want.

I did mention to Dennis that there was a strong consensus to keep the bowtie in the grill. I don't think Dennis and Stefano had a chance to really sit down and hash out a lot of the details on this stuff yet but I agree the bowtie should be in the grill too.

Black with white would be cool to see.

[cluxford]

Candy yellow with sliver stripes and a billet grille....

That way when parked next to my 68 they will be a matching pair !!!!

Honestly all those combos rendered above look amazing.....

[Hdesign]

I'll tell you one thing, your SS (hockey stripe) is much better than the ones I've seen that are forced below that side marker and have an awkward shape.

The one thing I see with doing a Black with white stripe is the contrast, it becomes very graphic. Maybe a 15-20% gray or something...I dunno. I'm working on some 2010 Camaro stuff right now also.

[JohnnyGMachine]

Yeah I know Ben...they do get to crazy looking then all they offer up is that they look different with black and white. "Purple and yellow polka dot crap is different but it's still crap" That's a quote from Steve Moye my automotive styling instructor back in college. I remember him saying that to the guy behind me LOL! I almost lost it when I heard it but true.

I remember Dennis asking me about the side stripe that I would need to draw on the Nickey Camaro. We talked about the existing one that we've seen on the GM concepts. I said to him "We're not doing anything like that stripe, to me it looks like a big PORK CHOP or side burns on the sides of the new Camaro...." They look hideous in my honest opinion. Again with the "different". See quote above.

I went with what you see on the current drawing. I had already sketched that stripe like that when I did the 5th Gen Camaro rendering what-ifs for PHR magazine and everybody thought they looked good and clean. So I stuck with that on the Nickey car. I will be helping Stefano and Dennis do the final 1:1 side stripe graphic artwork for their production cars. I can't wait to see one done!

Great work John....
IMO, its a toss-up between the Black/Red and the Silver/Red.

[Nickey Chicago]

We do have a Black with White and Black houndstooth Stage II on order right now. It will be one of the first few built.

If we go with a Bowtie on the Grill, should it be Gold / color as standard or Blue for a retro styling que?

BTW, Great work John!

[Hdesign]

That's a very important point John regarding "different" stripes. I learned that very early while working at my ID job. Change for change sake is bad. Change that not only works but also enhances the design is good.

Love the hound's tooth interior idea!!!!

Blue bowtie sounds cool and will be appreciated by a lot of the market you guys seem to be targeting.

Houndstooth interior is going to look AWESOME!!!
I would go with the "old-school" bowtie on the grill.:thumbsup:

[paulk68]

i think the blue bowtie looks way better

[JohnnyGMachine]

I like the blue bowtie idea too!!! It keeps it's an easy change to make and it'd be the stock grill but the diehards would pick up on it and appreciate those kinds of "little" touches. Here's a couple more I emailed over to the guys.

Black with White Stripes and Red Jewel Metallic with White Stripes
