About the video, is it me, or was the '66 Olds a shade of (almost hate to say it) Purple? However, the sky also seemed to cast a Purple-ish hue, as did some of the actors skin! Suffice to say that lighting, angles of light, age, etc., can change how a color is perceived.
Now back to the EO Camaro.....I'm guessing (have no cold hard facts to support my theory) that the primer used on Clem's Special Order Camaro could/would have been something other than Red Oxide or Black. That EO metallic would be much easier to spray (back to spray in a second) over a lighter primer than a darker. Is that a feasible thought? And the first two shots of the door panel being peeled back show two distinctly hidden colors.....one a shade of Purple and the other a shade of Grey. Could the unusual light primer (if in fact it was an out-sourced product that has been stated by an ex-assembly line worker) and some metallic overspray "created" a color mimicking Silver? We now know the the Special Paint cars received a substandard and out-of-the-norm paint job with a product likely obtained from an outside vendor and that color "could" have been mixed BY EYE to a 1" long paint chip. And then the front clip was painted by DIFFERENT painters in a DIFFERENT area under DIFFERENT conditions.
My point here is that with so many variables and the 47 (car built in 1968) year time span, how can there really be a 100% definitive conclusion? I don't think anyone involved here thinks that they themselves are wrong, and frankly, there may be some validity to their strong-willed opinion. Guys and gals, let's stop the mud slinging and childish rants and get back to the real reason we are united here.....we aren't gonna sing Kumbaya (sp.) around the campfire, but it is so counterproductive to cast negative slurs to one another......this is supposed to be fun!!!
