I come around here at least once a week and read posts. You guys have some very nice cars. While I do perfer my Impala for personal reasons I do enjoy looking at a great GS and would get a used one if anything happed to my beater.

So I figured I'd ask you all this question.
(WHOOPS)
This color. Yay or nay. It is the same car and same paint taken from different angles and with sunlight or regular interior lights.

Thanks in advance.

This color on a 1995 Chevy Impala SS

What's your question

mmarshall

I think the question is which one of the Impala SS colors is best?...and if we like that one.


If my memory is right, on the old rear-drive Impala SS ( which was discontinued in 1996 ) there was one original color...back......and then two others added......gray and the dark cherry red you posted.

Personally, I thought the car looked best in black, but I don't care, myself, for the problems associated with black...heat, scratches, constant washing, everything showing up, etc....and I'm not a fan of gray either, so if I had my choice, I would take the color you posted.

That is the same car. Those are the colors of the single paint job.
Impalas came in black, dark cherry and a dark green gray.
I have one that is painted Black Kryptonite. It is black with green in the color. It changes based on sunlight, view positon, etc. Subtle but nice. See homepage for more info.

I think it is the same color as this Impala

The paint has black, brown, dark cherry and a hint of gold in it.

Pictures of the car that I took that show the car's brown point of view:

Is that the black cherry they started to offer?

Share pictures of your paint and I'll see which I like better. Personally I love black.

By the way I like the sig, Black KryptoNite (Black Knight).

I like that color. I'm a fan of black, but sometimes basic black is just a bit boring. This makes it different, but not, "look at me!!!" Subtle is always good IMHO.

The pictures that I showed are of a color that my painter mixed for a friend of mine. It isn't totally dark cherry. There is brown, black, and a hint of silver pearl that turned goldish. He's a chemist!

My BLACK KRYPTONITE is a mixture of black and green. When I saw it on the car I instantly name it BLACK KRYPOTNITE. I was yelling at the time. It is also the name for my car. Here are a few pictures of my car. It has since been lowered a few inches.
What I started with


In Commerce GA on a could-less day. The Kryptonite really shows. Paint was 3 days old.

Before Dusk in Michigan. It's harder to see the Kryptonite

It's a great factory color. Nothing like it since.

Sure it's a little showy, but it is befitting for an Impala SS.

mparks

Bro, those are not factory colors. Those are custom one of a kind colors. You won't find those on any other car in the world.

And I love what is befitting for an Impala SS.

Thanks again for all of the honest feedback. I appreciate it.
Now if I could get you guys to trade me a 2000 GS for my 2000 Chevy Cavalier... We could be best friends!

marshmallo

Nay for me.

I would consider black, dark blue, dark green, gray and
silver over a color like that.

I like that color. I dated a chick that had a 95 BLK one. Damn I miss that body........................................style

I love this model Impala!
