Looks alot like Viper Steel Gray. Actually, I'll bet that's what it is.

You might want to talk to Pro2low, I remember seeing that car (if not one with the same color) cruising around with him frequently. I know that car is in the Speed Inc Open house video from ProjectCamaro near the end if you want to check it out @ the 6:27 mark.

With that color he's probably looking for a Viper Steel Gray, or Shadow Gray type color. Corvettes hasd a shade of Metallic Gray in 2003 or 2004. That car doesn't look to be a PPM like the Z28 posted above. Nice car BTW!

the only factory color it comes close to is PPM, IMO. i dont think its a factory color because PPM has a more purple tint and that looks solid grey to me.

Its Dark green-gray metallic

This color plays tricks on your mind when you see it; it's hard to determine what color it is. It's almost gunmetal color looking in the right light.

Arock is close, but Juvi's Formula is not a factory color. The car was originally black.

It is a chrysler color, some type of Green/Gray mix. The owner of the car does not even know what color it is. The owner before him painted it. He owns a shop in Elk Grove Village, IL called Marks car care or something along those lines. The shop is on Higgins road between Elmhurst road and Rte 83. Taubr unit you would have to ask the owner of that shop for the code.

But I am 100% certain that it is a Dodge/Chrysler color..fwiw.
