I F**ked up my 69 Camaro :(

I have a garage lift which I put the Camaro on top and the Lambo underneath ...

I raised the Camaro late at night with a few people over to show them the lift as they had never seen one before ... About an hour later I went to the garage and casually opened the garage door not realising that I had pulled the Camaro in head first in a rush to get it out of the rain and in order to have it fully raised it needed to be backed in ...

Well ... usually where the garage opener metal would be above the engine hood it scratched a deep 2 foot dent on the roof of the car ...

NOW THE question ... Since I have to get it repainted ... I'm thinkin of doing flat black with black chrome wheels ...

OUCH DUDE!!!!! The flat black is cool but I like the orange...but if you paint it, no chrome wheels....do like a brushed/black 2 tone

email me for a pic of a sample I have one at the office

Dario, man sorry to hear that. Look on the bright side, you can have a new project now. Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Flat black... drop it a couple inches (or whole new suspension depending on whats under it) and some black anodized (will give a flat appearance) 19/20's

You should get some kinesis's on that. There's a GMP Model of a camaro on kinesis and it looks amazing. Retro but modern. Maybe flat orange on silver kinesis

Damn Dario! That sux. That car is gorgeous! What a PITA.
I always wondered if this kind of thing happened to those of you with lifts.
With my luck, it would definitely happen to me if I had the same setup.
Something to lighten the mood a bit......My dad has a suburban that is lifted and HAD a big light bar on top. One day my mom was driving it......
Yeah, came home and TRIED to pull it into the garage.
It was pretty nasty. Light bar - bye bye, windshield- broken, garage door - mangled. We had another friend whose wife pulled into the garage with Their brand new TREK racing bikes on the rooftop carrier.

As for the color, I say repaint it exactly how it is.
