This may sound funny or strange but..... I have been having these weird reoccurring dreams at night that I'm in my garage detrimming my car to do a color change on my it, and I was painting it GM's Bermuda Blue or as it's also called Rip Tide Blue, it's the blueish green that flip flops. The manufacture code is WA214M. So now these dreams have me curious, I would keep the silver Manta on the hood and the silver SS emblems like I have it now. Just curious if anyone has painted a F-Body this color if so some pics would be nice.

 

Thats the color of my truck, i love it. Most people thinks its a custom paint. I went to get either white or blue, saw it and was liek give me that one. Anyway, i think it would look awesome as long as it was done properly. I have already been told that a repaint of that color is hard because of the flip flop being correct as you look donw the vehicle. Anyway, go for it, great color.

 

Different idea, I've seen that on a truck around my neighborhood and love the color.

 

THe color change won't be a problem since I'll be doing the work cause that is what I do for a living.

 

Anybody seen one?

 

Post a pic of the color please.. On a truck, car, whatever.. Sounds like a cool swap though with the silver accents

 

I would but I can't find any pics that do the color remotely any justice. Just keep and eye open for Escilades, Tahoe's, Yukon's and I think some of the Grand Prix's came in this color. I looks green but it flip flops to blue and kind of a purple color.

 

is it a dark green? when you said yukon i think i know what you're talking about..

 

It looks like it's a dark green but, it's not that dark green (polo green, forrest green) that GM has put on their cars/trucks for years.

This is the best pic I could find.

that color is nice. i seen it on a yukon before and have never seen it on anything else. i have been wanting to maybe paint my trans am that color. never thought it was a stock gm color though. i say you do it. your car will be one of a kind.oh and one question, does that paint need multiple stages like candy or is the color just mixed like that or its a basic 2 stage paint job, paint and clear? thought i would ask since you paint for a living.

 

Thanks man. Just a basic 2 stage.

 

Ask and Ye Shall recieve.....The hood is carbon fiber

 

I'd like to see it in some more light, but it looks pretty good there..

 

That car would look 100 times better with a painted Hood

 

Sweet thanks 6SSpeed. How do you like it? More importantly what kind of comments do you get on it?

 

I think that it would look really good. Definitely not anywhere near the top of the list for colors to repaint a car though.

My mom has it on her Grand Prix.

 

that looks an aweful lot like Blue/Green Chameleon... which I believe was available on Fbodies for several years

 

It's not my car. He has a thread on it somewhere called "99 New Suit". I would have painted the hood to match but he really wanted the carbon fiber look.

 

He should leave the manta carbon fiber, and paint the rest. That would be sick.

 

lol, Hey Thats my Car, and you will be happy to know The hood did get painted, I left the center of the scoop carbon, and did a Manta stripe in a custom silver, also did silver grand sport stripes on the fenders. And Thoughs pics were taken before the SS spoiler and grill insert were done. As far as Comments, dont think I have heard One negative one about it. Everyone loves the blue. Im actually looking at picking up an avalance in that color as we speak. Nice to see fans of my car. Oh yeah and There are black Z06 rims on it now with rivets, and were repainting them to match the car, the machined lip will match and leave the center black
