anyone have pics of paint code 18

Im looking to see if anyone has any pics of Dark green grey paint code 18, because my car used to be painted that color, and im thinking about repainting it that color, but I want to see what it would look like. I did a ton of searches but couldn't find what I was looking for, pics would be highly appreciated thanks

The '95-'96 Impala SS came in a color similar to what your'e looking for.It wasn't as popular as black or dark cherry red but it's a good looking color.I found one on Ebay but it may not be as dark as what your'e looking for but hope it helps..

Half the problem is it was only used in 92, the other half is the fact it went by so many names.

Dark green/grey
dark grey/green
Jade green
Jade green/grey
even more...

It's a really nice color, but really hard to capture in a picture. Goes from a dark green in shadows to a purple-blue-grey in light. It's not a chameleon color, so it's not as flashy as you would think.

was 92 the only year for it...that explains why I never see any that color, and if it changes color in differnt light it would definently be hard to tell from a picture.

Yup, it was one of the 3-4 25th anniversary Firebird colors (Jade green, jamaican yellow, and a very light blue). The Jade green was also available on 92 Camaro's.

Nope, I forget what that one is called, but it's more of a teal blue. In case there is any confusion, the picture I posted of my car is freshly painted code 18 Green-Grey metalic.

I just stumbled onto this thread but I have good news for you 92RS(real slow), our 92RS is paint code 18 (the original window sticker calls it Dark Green-Gray Metallic) and we recently got it repainted the original color. See pictures below but ignore the stripe that the body shop decided to put on the car. Thankfully it was only tape!
