These pics are getting a little old... The car looks a lot better now, but you get the idea. What you guys ned to do is help me pick out a color.

More images here

ProZZac has a nice looking bird that he has posted pics of ont his site. I havn't been able to get a reply from him through e-mail yet. Any ideas on his paint color choice? I think it may be very close to GM 2003 Forest Green Pearl Metallic. I havn't yet seen a vehicle in that color, but the paint chips look very similar to the pics below. Any ideas on that color? I'm open to suggestions. Pearl white, metallic gray, and even purple have gone through my mind.


As of right now, the car is ready to be sprayed... I just need some advice on color selection. PLEASE post pic sof other cars and post some color ideas

i love that color!! It's called polo green and it was available from 91 and up. I got my car painted that color right after I bought it. Here's a pic:

Nice pics That was a good makeover for the car. Your green doesn't look very metallic though. I think they're very different from the same color. Not a bad alternative if I can't find the right one. I like it.

Any other pictures or color ideas? Sebring silver woudl also look pretty sharp.

She is done! Well, pretty much done. I need to go over a couple minor spots for some touchups and such.... People never seem to understand that new paint is fairly soft for the first week or so of its lifetime. Pics will come... It's pissing rain right now, but I'll post some up later on.

Anyhow, I have a question regardingh paint removal. My front signals decided to hide and trick me into painting over them in the booth.. whoops! Now they're sporting a nice clearcoated green finish that somewhat blocks light

What shoudl I use to clean em off? I've got some reducer, paint thinner, acetone etc etc...

To tell you the truth, I really don't know. I ordered the dark metallic green that the transam came in that year and got some other form of green. I'm not sure who ****ed up so I never said anything about it. I'll post some pics when the rain stops here. Kinda looks like a British Racing green.
