2024 Chevy Camaro Gets New Panther Black Metallic Tintcoat Paint: First Look

The 2024 Chevy Camaro adds four new exterior colors to its palette: Riptide Blue Metallic, Nitro Yellow Metallic, Panther Black Matte, and Panther Black Metallic Tintcoat. The “Panther” hues are offered exclusively on the Collector Edition. Here’s our first look at the new Black Metallic hue.

Assigned RPO code GLK and touch-up paint code WA-815T, Panther Black Metallic Tintcoat is one of 11 exterior colors offered on the muscle car, which include:

  • Black
  • Radiant Red Tintcoat
  • Red Hot
  • Riverside Blue Metallic
  • Sharkskin Metallic
  • Summit White
  • Vivid Orange Metallic
  • Nitro Yellow Metallic (new for 2024)
  • Riptide Blue Metallic (new for 2024)
  • Panther Black Metallic Tintcoat (new for 2024)
  • Panther Black Matte (new for 2024)

Panther Black Metallic Tintcoat is a no-cost item that is included only as part of the Collector Edition package and is available on all trim levels except ZL1. It can be combined with all Camaro interior colorways except Jet Black with Red accents.

For reference, here are all five available interior colorways offered on the 2024 Camaro:

  • Jet Black
  • Medium Ash Gray
  • Adrenaline Red
  • Ceramic White
  • Jet Black with Red accents

The 2024 Chevy Camaro arrives as the ninth and final model year of the current sixth generation, featuring a pair of special-edition variants. These include the 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Garage 56 Edition, as well as the 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Collector Edition, both of which offer their own unique content and varying levels of exclusivity to pay homage to the first-gen Camaro’s internal program code of “Panther.” The Collector Edition will be offered on all trim levels, but only the ZL1 can be ordered with the Panther Black Matte paint, the first matte paint option ever offered on the Camaro.

A boatload of other changes for the 2024 Camaro include dropping two paint colors, the Shock and Steel Edition package, the lowered suspension package and the sway bar package, the 20-Inch Caliente wheels, the base 1LS trim level, and the turbo 2.0L LTG engine. Additionally, the 2024 Camaro SS 1LE Suspension Handling Package is no longer available while the full SS 1LE Track Performance Package remains available to order.

In March, GM confirmed a next-generation Chevy Camaro will eventually follow the 2024 model year to keep the nameplate alive.

The 2024 Chevy Camaro rides on a variant of the GM Alpha platform, yet approximately 70 percent of the Alpha architecture’s components are unique to Camaro.

While production of the 2024 Chevy Camaro kicked off in August, the 2024 Camaro will get a condensed production run, with fewer units planned, though GM will produce more 2024 Camaro units with the 6.2L V8 LT1 engine and 2024 Camaro ZL1 availability will increase over the 2023 model. In fact, 2024 Camaro production is set to end in the near future.

  1. I almost bought a 2009 G8 GXP in Panther Black Metallic. Really great color.

    1. I had a Panther Black GT. Very nice car. Would still have it but I got rear ended on the way to work 3 years ago.

  2. Well, here we are at the end of an era where Dodge build’s a 1025hp Demon which is limited to 300 cars and what do we get from Chevy? Nothing in performance to compete. Having been a die hard Chevy fan since the 1950’s this is par for what GM has NOT offered in years. Paint and Decal options just are not impressive to enthusiasts. These cars are mundane and are basically also rans. C’mon , Mary!

    1. Car buyers collectively determine how successful a car company is, not individuals whose singular opinion is just that, I’ll go with the opinions of hundreds of thousands of GM buyers any day.

  4. Those commemorative Camaro’s are getting huge mark ups here in the state of California. Even the LT’s are getting markups. Not a fan of the wheels. Put the 1le wheels on them.

  6. Take a look at the GM Authority main page on the email you got this morning from them. One Camaro. One Malibu (dead car walking that they don’t even want to build!) One Corvette. And the rest a parade of trucks and cube box things, big and middle sized and small.

    That is the sorry state of the 2024 GM lineup. And blame for that goes right to the top.

    Reply
    1. No blame for that goes straight to what people actually buy. I’m not an SUV guy, never owned one. But I know I am the exception and get why almost all manufacturers are letting the sedans expire. Coupe’s are my fav, owned a Monte and a T-Bird and would love another. But again, I know the mid-size coupe is dead as a doornail. Not my preference but manufacturers don’t build for me. They build for the masses. I’m a electronics guy, I get mass production. You can get one low noise JFET transistor for 5-30 bucks. One. You can buy an arm processor chip with 1 billion transistors in it for 4. Why? Mass production. I will shell out for a few JFET’s if I need them at 1B times the price of a device in the arm. I’m not willing to shell out 1B times the cost of an SUV for a mid-sized coupe. Well, maybe I would if I could.

    2. Malibu is going into 10th gen, GM has outsold Ford in full size pickups every quarter since Q1 2020, and GM’s large body-on-frame SUVs have a 60% market share, and have for many years.

      Th only sorry state here is people who let their own personal bias override sales data.

      1. Pierre, your comments are like a breath of fresh air amongst the old timers posting here, longing for the GM of their youth. and hating a modern era woman CEO.

        Reply
        1. Ah yes, old-timers filled with hate. That IS refreshing! /S

          You have a problem with a “woman CEO”? Tell it to your wife when you ask her permission to buy your next car! Ha ha!

  7. Come on GMauthority….this is old news and not even relevant since the Camaro is in its waning days of production….do better….SMDH

  8. I wouldn’t count GM out of the Muscle car race. The world is changing daily and many countries and even some governors in the US are seeing going fully electric is not going to be happening anytime soon. I’d bet maybe 50 years and maybe not even then. People are slowly waking up and realizing we humans have no control over the climate. We need a few people currently in government gone. Kerry and Gore are just con artist and too many people play into their hands. The good thing is many of my friends kids like cars and don’t think these two con artist are worth listening too. The manufactures are being pushed but the people are starting to push back by not buying this nonsense.

  9. should there be a period in above statement somewhere?

  10. Hey, great to get this article and info. Can you use your connections to get them to build me one this month? Maybe the #351 ZL1 instead of the 350 that have already been planned and built out. What a waste of space all these recent articles on Camaro paint have been!
