Default A Green SS

I picked up a wrecked 2000 SS. I have been thinking about painting it a dark green. Did they ever make a green SS and anybody out there with one? I'd like to get an idea of what it may look like.

Green would be different. Far as i know they had polo green and bright green metallic. They don't look bad but I'd go with hugger orange. It's a classic color and will never die.

I think a green one would look good. I like the green color that comes on the 99-04 (dare I say?) Mustangs.

No they never made a green SS. Green only came on z28s & V6's. Though painting it green will make it look sick. I like the Bright Green Metallic that my car is, it's different.

I think if done with tasteful mods British Racing Green would look great on a Camaro.

White with green metallic 35th anniversary stripes that fade into that green/grey lt1 color would look cool.

Making your car the same color as bird crap... yuck
Dark green is pretty vague.. Polo green is pretty boring
lets see some examples

I was thinking polo green with some silver stripes. But the more i think about it the more i don't like the idea. I want something that will stand out.

I just sold my 78 TA that i painted sunset orange. So the SOM color is kinda old to me. Car is already red, and i just see to many red camaros. Been thinking about Volecity Yellow with some black berger style stripes.

Are you talking about Dark Hyland Green from the Bullitt Mustangs? Machs weren't made in green but they shared the same C-pillars as the Bullitts.
