The manufacturer color selection for the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is incorrect. Along with the body color, the wheels and hood are also the wrong colors. The wheels are showing as silver, but should be a dark, hyper-gunmetal color. The entire hood is appearing as either gloss black or carbon fiber, depending on the manufacturer variant chosen. Only the hood insert should be black/carbon fiber, with the rest of the hood being the body color.
Simply put, the paint schemes should reflect the same vehicle from Forza Motorsport 7 and Forza Horizon 5.

Does this issue still persist after recent updates? Would it be possible to provide a recent video of this in action?
Yes the hood still is entirely carbon fibre or black (glitch). Only the engine cover is carbon fibre. The blue colour is way too teal/turquoise. There’s been no fix for either issue on the 2017 Camaro ZL1.
I don’t have the know-how to do a video, but here’s hoots of the problems I found.
This manufacturer colour “Hyper Blue” is all wrong. It looks teal.
Here’s the real colour and then what it looks like in-game:
As for the hood, it makes the entire hood either black or exposed carbon fibre. On the non-1LE package ZR1 only the hood insert (not the entire hood) is either black or the optional exposed carbon fibre. The wheels should also be a darker grey colour, but at least that’s an easy painting fix.
It paints the whole hood. You can manually go repaint the hood, but once it saves it reverts to the whole hood turning either black or carbon fibre. It shows right in the picture of the car in the car selection menu, but there’s no way to actually save the hood in the proper painted colour. I’ve tried repainting it, changing colours, buying a new Camaro ZL1 and nothing fixes it. The 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE is correct but not the 2017 Camaro ZL1 (without the 1LE package).
How it looks in the game:
How it should look (but won’t save no matter what you do):

Yes, this is still a problem, even after update 19. It’s bad, really bad.
Skunkworks16 provided a perfect example of how far off the body and wheel colors are with the blue comparison.
I personally own a 2018 Hyper Blue Metallic ZL1.
The real car is a very vibrant, deep metallic blue. The Forza Motorsport example is a pastel, gloss blue.
The wheels are silver in Forza. They’re hyper black on the real car.
The hood on the real car is painted, with the exception of the hood insert, which is either gloss black or carbon fiber. The game makes the entire hood unpainted, in either gloss black or carbon fiber.
