My Original color!

[Johnny Blaze]

Okay,

We hvave been planing on painting this car (1967 firebird convert.) Green from the begining of the plan. Then I look up the tag and find the car was green from the factory, after we pulled off the front end I find a good bit of the color.

What do you think?

Would you paint it this color again?

[derekf]

Is this the color you were going to paint it anyway?

If so, then great, your decision is made.

If not, why change your original plan?

[Johnny Blaze]

Well, not that exact color. We were not 100% on the shade of green.

This is Verdoro Green btw.

[69Nova]

I say yes. It's a cool color.

[Johnny Blaze]

Theres one vote, anyone else?

[BonzoHansen]

Oe!

[bowtieguys]

You could always paint it that same base and add a pearl, or cover it with a candy coat for an added twist. Personally, I like the green.

[dhardison]

I vote YES as well. Go with Rich's suggestions and give it a little 'depth'.

Green? Love it! I originally wanted a British racing green color for my Mustang Coupe but thought it was a little boring...so I settled on GM Polo Green. You see it on late model Vettes and Cadillacs. It is real dark and looks black without direct light.

[indyjps]

that green would be beautiful with some gold pearl thrown in.

My 68 is Deep Fathom Green Metallic, actually a 69 color, but looks great out in the sun, sort of like the GM Polo green KM's talking about,

[kmcanally]

There is a 69 camaro with the Fathom Green...I think? Isn't that the one with the C4 Suspension front and rear and looks stock except for the wheels...if so nice color too.

I love green cars, the first Dodge I owned was a 1970 Coronet 500 which was green exterior/green lizard skin top with green interior. I didn't care for it at first but the more I drove it the more I liked it. I was surprised with how many positive comments I received from people. It may not bring the same money as a red car if you were to sell it but I usually build for myself anyway. :bananna2: Sure are a lot of 1st gen firebirds starting to show up.

My bird was originally V green also. I like it alot! YES!

[67bird]

My 67' was also V. green from the factory. It is a great color, but couldn't convince my wife (LOL). I noticed that you are from New Albany. Do you every make it to the South side of Indy on Saturdays? They have kinda a small cruise in at the "suds". Car Craft did a story on it awhile back. Anyway there is a guy there that has a V. green bird w/ a black vinyl top. It looks awesome. If i got to pick I would paint mine that color, but as bad as it sounds I wanted my wife to help pick the color to feel like she was part of the project.

[Johnny Blaze]

We always hit that cruise when we go to super chevy, or the nationals. Thats about it. I would like to hit it when I get this car done though.

[Johnny Blaze]

WEll, we are not going with it, but we did get a green, and it looks like it could be a stock color.

It is Chromabase Willow Green.

[SPEEDZONE]

I think thats Verdoro green. Cool color.
