Dark Green Grey Metallic - Fresh Paint Can still smell the clear a little bit on the inside. mmmmMMMmm yummy. This color looks darker in the shade, but the green really pops in the sun.
Headlight buckets and bumper painted gloss black rather than matte, same with the door handles. And also the antenna was shaved. Plus the cowl hood with cowl stripes.
More to follow with it fully assembled and washed, if I get the time. I re-did the whole thing because it was peeling all over so I stripped it and started from the beginning. There were some issues but I didn't have time to fix them, I only had that weekend to paint it at my shop. My bumper crakced in some spots on the stand I had it in and I messed up the stripe on the hood a bit. Took me about 7 hours to do. I didi the car with the front bumper in one booth and the rear bumper and some pieces in the "old booth" where we do cut in parts. SS spoiler and berger panel were the only things I didn't paint, those was painted previously.
Oh and I wanted to know what you guys thought of stainless rear 'camaro' fill-ins from emblempros with the black etching on a black berger panel, do you think it would look good on my car/color?

Thanks guys. Didn't get any new pics yet, spent the day putting door panels, lock cylinders, etc on. Next weekend I'll polish the wheels and give it a wash and maybe between now and then cut and buff it a bit.

Thanks guys, Yes, this is the factory color matched with Spies Hecker paint, it's the greener variant, the standard was too dark. I did the factory color so I ddin't have to do jambs, otherwise I'd do NBM.
I was thinking about black or gunmetal rims earlier today. I had gunmetal rims on my 94 NBM v6 I painted....gun metal grey salad shooters!!! lol. Wheels are way expensive though. But I would ike to get ones that accommodate a wider tire, as my current Eagle no. 77 wheels can only fit a max 245 width tire on there. Good thing about them is that they are polishable aluminum.
