2023 Camaro To Get Two New Exterior Paint Colors

The 2023 Camaro will be offered with two new exterior paint colors, GM Authority has learned.

The Camaro will introduce the following two exterior colors to its order books for the 2023 model year (relevant paint codes listed in parentheses):

  • Sharkskin Metallic replaces (paint code GXD)
  • Radiant Red Tintcoat replaces (paint code GNT)

These two colors will replace two existing exterior hues that were offered on the Chevy Camaro for the 2022 model year. Sharkskin Metallic arrives in place of Satin Steel Metallic (paint code G9K) while Radiant Red Tintcoat arrives in place of Wild Cherry Tintcoat (paint code GSK). Photos of the 2023 Chevy Camaro in these two exterior colors were not immediately available.

The Chevy Camaro is expected to receive minor changes for the 2023MY. Full details on these changes have yet to come to light, although GM Authority expects mild revisions in the way of available options and equipment.

Production of the sports coupe nameplate will continue to take place at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Metro Detroit, where the vehicle is produced alongside the Cadillac CT4 and CT5 luxury sedans. According to GM Authority sources familiar with the Camaro program, the 2023 Chevy Camaro is scheduled to begin rolling off the production line at the Lansing facility on June 6th, 2022.

The 2022 Chevy Camaro is offered with four gasoline engine options: the turbocharged 2.0L LTG four-cylinder, naturally aspirated 3.6L LGX V6, naturally aspirated 6.2L LT1 V8 and, for the high-performance ZL1 model only, the supercharged 6.2L LT4 V8.

Some rumors have suggested the vehicle will receive the 6.2L LT2 V8 from the C8 Corvette Stingray for the 2023 model year, which would arrive in place of the LT1 V8, but we have our doubts, as this would require GM to make some significant engineering investments in the nameplate. That seems unlikely, in our opinion, as the Camaro is set to be discontinued in the coming years amid GM’s shift to a more EV-focused product portfolio. That said, the Camaro’s departure could make way for a new high-performance Chevy EV, which may or may not leverage the Camaro branding.

  1. Thank you Sam we can’t even get any 22’s, but hey lets celebrate the fact that we have two new colors for the 23’s. Earth shattering news, how will I be able to sleep at night?

    1. Another option – instead of waiting and waiting for a new car, my friend bought a 1969 Camaro built into a resto-mod. It has brand new everything including fuel injected engine, new overdrive automatic, A/C etc. Compared to a new car = price about the same, but NO future depreciation . . . almost everything brand new, so very dependable. Also it is not “just another Camaro” or just another new car that is only “new” for a year.

          1. Postal Worker, better watch that Convertible too glass that GM forgot to tell us Convertible top Camaro Owners. You either have top down. Or drive with windows up. That’s your only option. Or you will be in same situation as alot of us. Have to replace whole Convertible top. Vibration with windows down works on that Convertible top glass separates from Convertible top. NO REPAIR,!! NOT A HAPPY GM CAMARO CONVERTIBLE TOP OWNER. My warranty just went out 42 days ago 2019 2SS.
            Thanks GM

  3. Will my 2022 order from January 6th be automatically converted to a 2023 if GM doesn’t pick up allocation before June 6th production? Or will I once again have to play the waiting game? The idiot came up with the idea of allocation model ought to have their marketing degree revoked. Oh how I long for the old Campbell-Ewald days of marketing vehicles.

    2. I feel your pain man! I ordered a 2022 ZL1 on November 11th and still don’t know if they have even started production on it! It also looks like there will be no back up camera, heated and cooled seats due to chip shortage. No one can tell me if they will not ever include these standard features or if they will give me a credit or install them later. GM sucks !!!

      1. Unfortunately there are people who ordered in June of ‘21 who haven’t heard a thing. Now with the global shortage of neon gas which is imperative in the lasering of the silicon to produce chips, GM may funnel their chips into high profit trucks and SUVs. What’s being reported is a 6 month supply of neon. Ingas is a large facility in Mariupol, Ukraine which supplies the majority of neon for the whole world. Ingas ceased operation when Russia invaded so if you’re even lucky enough to get your car don’t be surprised if it’s missing your favourite options.

  4. I just want them to get rid of those big ugly “blood blister” taillights.
    That’s a deal breaker, so I’m waiting for something less conspicuous & ugly at the back.

  5. 1) until they start delivering cars that people have ordered and been desperately waiting, this is useless
    2) how about bringing back Hugger Orange (shock or whatever it was called in ‘21) before the Camaro is axed (again)

    Reply
    1. Better yet, bring back the synergy green metallic color or something close to it.

      Reply
    2. The limited edition hot wheels a few years ago was close to hugger orange and is all you’ll get for the sixth generation Camaro now.

  6. The last nice looking Camaro was a 2002 35th anniversary SS. Anything past that is ugly.

    1. The catfish Camaro? Really?

  7. How about the ’23 Camaro feature AEB with pedestrian detection? All this bs about exterior colors is just that: BS! GM is a trip…A bad one!! ♐

  8. Are we ever going to get a GREEN Camaro????? Geez!! It is a REAL color!

    1. Already had a bright Krypton green Camaro in 6th gen, wasn’t popular, so deleted.

  9. boomers complaining they don’t get 2 day amazon prime shipping on a car + not having every color in the rainbow available to them never gets old.

    Maybe if you all just pulled yourselves up by your bootstraps, learned to paint, and stopped buying avocado toast you could have your Camaro in any color you want.

    2. Hey, I’m a boomer, and I accept that you can’t get many colours nowadays, as you could back in the golden age of auto design. Don’t crap on us boomers because we experienced the best era in styling and colour variety. You should be so lucky !

  10. No yellow??? The second best selling color from the previous gen Camaro. I don’t get it.

    Reply
  11. I am sure the 2025 “Camaro” will be electric and look like a SUV. Buy your Camaros before it’s too late.

  12. Is the Rumor true about the Cadillac Blackwing power plant being installed in the ZL1?
    Please keep us advised!
