Mine is mostly black with some gray. Rear end was rusty when new but I painted it and the front spindle towers black.

I've got an '02 Firehawk. In some spots under the car and buried way under the hood I can see like a greenish undercoat. I guess that's primer. ~Joshua

Oh, I don't know, maybe I'm just imagining green, but then again it seems as though a few others are too. We're all crazy!!

The factory primer is gray. My car has green spots too. Some areas no paint at all.

Our paint is "black" but if you have ever had it in a can the wet paint is really green when you are looking at a small amount of it. Ya know how ocean water is blue when your looking at it but when you put it in a glass it becomes clear? Same deal.

No, the metal is bright metallic green way under the cowl in very small spots where the factory black didn't cover it.

It's like a coating on the metal. It looks the exact exterior shade of the BMG Camaros I've seen pictures of on this site. I don't know if it's primer or paint, but it's metal flake and it's there for sure.

Maybe Honda broke into the factory and tried to sabotage production...

So THAT'S why they had to dump the high revvin' Cav for the dillhole Cobolt SS and Saturn Sky Redline.

Sorry for going off topic, I'll be good now.
