Marty there's a guy that saw my car at the paint shop and loves the color. He's working on his car and thinking about changing the color when he paints. It's a 396 car and I told him about the black out and I was hunting a good pic to show him so he gets an idea of what it would look like. He's new to the Camaro world and knows very little about these cars so my painter ask if I would help him out with his project.

To answer your first question about my car getting painted this way. NOOOOO Way

You might ask his painter to spray semigloss black w/fathom green on a test panel so he gets a better sense of what his car will look like. Every other pic is going to look different and will only confuse the issue.
