There was a british dude on here a while ago that had a chameleon s13. It looked surprisingly good. Maybe he is still around?

Chameleon seems quite ricey to me, I'm always up for a dark blue or black of some kind. Hey, whatever you want, chameleon is alright.

I Agree about the Chamealon thing dude, please dont get that, it looks trashy. Also, dont get black. i admit it looks real nice, but its a ***** to keep looking good. i detail cars and believe me, black shows every little scratch and mark on the paint. especially if your painting an old car, if it has any rough spots or anything it will show up with black. and after a few years it will have so many small scratches in it it will look terrible. i would go for a red or blue, or even white.

Cameleon paint job just gives me an unsetling reminder of that 240 S14 in SCC that was kinda riced out plus its hella expensive man, you could get a more basic paint job and some mods and it will feel ultimatly more rewarding... but whatever floats your boat!

i could kind of through some coke bottle glasses see it lookin ok if u had a nice kit on it, but with a stock car its just tacky and that paint is like 10x as much as regular paint (friend got flames done on his harley in it) use the money to make it not pretty much stock

First i wanted to paint my 200 in candy pearl orange but now im going for black!

Black fits the best on the SX.

Camelion is way to expensive but looks kinda cool.

Camelion looks good for a show car, but on one that is mainly stock, it seems like a ricy move... I'd say paint it flat black for now(mad max style)... put the $$ you save into upping the performance of the car and do the paint later.
