pics of stock 1985 iroc factory paint jobs

hi im lookin to get my 85 iroc painted here soon and I was wondering if those that have 85's could post some pics of what their stock paint schemes look like because im wanting to paint mine either red, black or silver. thanks, the PO had the car painted like a dark polo green and besides the iroc badging on the door its kind of boring to me, plus im not a fan of dark green cuz i dont feel like it has enough pizazz if you know what i mean. thanks.

I don't recall exactly what the paint work expense was (as there was some minor body work, decal placement, etc.), but the total was around $1200. Oh, and I dissembled the car.
