      Looking for color ideas

      We have a 69 Firebird and would like to paint it green, anyone have ideas? We would like to keep it a more emerald green. The car was my first car in high school and then was passed to my sister. When she was done driving it, the car was parked where it sat in a garage for over 30 years. It has now come back to me. We have begun the restoration process and are looking forward to being able to bring it back to life.
      Thanks for any ideas you can share!

      Yuck, green. Guess someone has to like it, but green is better than bright red at least. I tend more towards blues and browns myself, or deep reds like burgundy.

      That being said, a dark emerald green isn't too bad. Here's a pic of a 2016 Audi, Verdant Green. It would probably do a great job picking up the lines on a Firebird. Disregard ET, he was just taking the picture.

      Yeah I like the dark green like the Audi above, you don't see a lot of green cars on the road to spark ideas. I don't mind green cars depending on direction of the build. Some that I can think of new challerger green and green hell mango on a PT style firebird would be sick.

      Thanks all for your ideas I will check them out. Root-beer brown was a second option but decided it just won't work. Blue is completely out.

      While not the direction you seem to be heading, may want to consider California Sage green. It's an Aston Martin color. IMO, looks very sophisticated
