I was just wondering what opinions anyone has on this color:

I was planning on painting my 68 camino this color. Any opinions?

Personally i think the color looks kind of cool - almost silver with a hint of green. Definitely out of the ordinary which can be good.

I say if you like it, go for it.

Nice color, but how about a Chevrolet paint code? In Chevy talk, that color would be;

1967 Chevelle - Mountain green metallic
1966-67 Corvette - Mossport green

Thats what I'm after, I want my car to be a standout and not just look like all the rest of the caminos running arround my area.

I'll have to give the Chevy paint codes a look.

My body and paint guy seems pretty enthusiastic about painting my car this color.

My overall concept is:

* Trim delete except for bed/window trim, etc.
* Crystal green metallic paint. (spray-in bed liner)
* Black grill (center emblem delete) with a Chevrolet script emblem off-center
* Malibu fender badges
* Ivory interior (maybe a tweed)?
* Big wheels / 2-inch drop

I already have two-years in this project. Hope to have the car up next Summer.
