Default Help with green paint choice

Ok I have a 70 elky. The entire car is getting blacked out. Satin black paint, black powdercoated trim, tinted tails and corners.

Interior is going black as well from seats to carpet to Autometer Z series gauges. I will be using a few AEM gauges so they SHOULD be green most of the time when running correctly.

I am going to put GREEN SS stripes on the hood and likely paint the calipers, rear end, and suspension comeponents the same.

Rims will be black and may get the lip painted in the same green like the mallett corvettes.

Problem is which green. Ive narrowed it to these 3. Please vote and if you would like do me one better and make a photoshop of each/your choice. Thanks

1.Snake Skin Green

2. Foxy Green

3. Synergy Green

Sounds like a sick car, you got any pics? Also it seems like the Synergy Green in the picture doesn't do that color justice. When it hits the sun the color looks great. I like the Foxy Green because it seems like its a little darker then the SSG. You really can't go wrong with either of them. My choices would be 1) Foxy Green, 2) Synergy Gree, 3) SSG. Good luck man, its going to look sick.

How it sat when I got it home


First is interior but I have to think ahead.

I am leaning more towards SSG or Foxy. Synergy doesnt look to good under lights which is how it will sit on those late nights in mexico. There are better pics of SSG but I cant find many besides that lexus of Foxy
