I'm going to paint my 70' Monte dark green metallic and I need some opinions on which of the two colors look the best, (or do they look the same?) Anyone have a formula for Dupont Chromabase bc/cc in these colors?
Thanks in advance!

Try again here.....Forest Green is a dark metallic colored green. The colored pics I've seen of Fathom Green look lighter with no metallic. Mike Mueller's Chevelle Book 1964-1972 has pics of a 69 COPO Chevelle with Fathom Green. Beauty in is eye of beholder but I like Forest even though Fathom might be rarer? Don't believe Fathom was available in 1970 if that makes any difference to you.

Thanks ohhawk, I've never seen the two colors side by side, and wasn't sure what the difference was.

I had a Forest Green '70 Nova and later, a Forest Green '70 Monte Carlo. No offense to Fathom Green owners or fans but IMO Forest Green is much better looking. Fathom Green was a '69 color and Forest (lighter and more metallic) was a '70 color. Since you have a '70 it's an easy choice.
