I was at a dealership the other day and saw one of the new 2007 SS/SC had a "premium paint" option ($295 extra). It was a maroon-ish color. Anyone have any info on it or what other colors are out there for this?

 

actually a few days ago somebody had a 07 ss/sc with pics on here w/ that color, gimme a min, i'll see if i can find it.

Sweet! Ya, that was the color I saw. I wonder what other SS/SC colors gm has up it's sleeve for the future.

 

no doubt, I thought I heard something about a new blue....can't wait to see that.

 

personally I don't like that color... but thats just my opinion! The gunmetal rims also look better then polished IMO! Still, obviously, a great lookin car

 

Ya its called bluestreak mettalic

 

The maroon is a nice color....but it just doesn't beat Lazer Blue!

I wonder what the new blue will look like.....

 

As long as that blue doesnt look purple haha

 

From what I could find, blue streak metallic looks aweful close to the Lazer Blue. I have a feeling it's pretty much the same color, just a different name for Pontiac.

 

i have an 06 and i paid for that option as well, i have the amethyst majest ls coupe with an ss wing, i dont know exactly what the difference is can someone explain

 

Yeah the red one he originally spoke of, and that's in that other thread, is Sport Red Tintcoat. It's a nice, deep metallic red. Very similar to the Spice Red Metallic that's on the Pontiacs, if not the same. I saw it on a 2.4L SS in person and thought it looked great. I still love my Laser Blue Metallic though...

 

victory red FTW!

I don't like that new color

 

I like victory red but my mom my dad and my brother all have a victory red chevy lol.. I would go with the sport red tintcoat.

 

so what is the difference between the regular paint and the upgraded of the premium paint?

 

Premium at one point was the semi colour shifting paints, like the lightning blue, that maroon, equinox also has a green taupe like one... all of them will shift a few shades or so depending on how you look at them in the light

 

i thought that the difference in the colors was from the metalic paints, i have amethyst majest metalic, and the premium paint upgrade as well, i didnt order it and my dealership dont even have a clue, but they are some dumb people, but thats besides the point

 

I would guess that it's not a common color (Victory Red, Ultra Silver, Laser Blue, etc. are on some other GM cars). This color *might* be the same as the Pontiac Spice Red... but that's the only other one I know. It's just a way of charging more and making a "rarer" option.

I also heard someone say that the Sport Red Tint was a three stage paint: silver base, red tint, clear. That would definitely explain the extra charge... but I'm not sure if that's really true or not.

 

yeah its not a very sporty color, and i def. like the gunmetal wheels more than the chrome ones. however just becuase i dont like it doesnt mean someone else wont love it, so more power to the person who owns this car. gl and have fun with your balt!
