Hi everyone, been a while!

I am investigating silvery green to gray green paint colours, and was wondering if you could suggest some to look at.

The current list consists of:

Nissan Millennium Jade - Decided now this is too light.
BMW Messing Metallic
Porsche Aventurine Green

They are fairly different to each other, but should give you some feel of what I am looking for.

Many thanks in advance. <3

Now looking for paint codes most similar to BMW Manhattan Green Metallic and Porsche Aventurine Green Metallic. :)

Thanks, I'll take a look. It seems difficult to find decent pictures of at the moment.

Away doing better things with my life. This place is too toxic at times. The amount of time I used to spend here wasn't making me a good person.

Hope things are going well on your end. :)

Better things with your life? Err... have you not seen the graphics card area where you can discuss performance in a game of children flying round on broom sticks?

Manhattan green is lovely, thankyou for that suggestion!
That along with Porsche Aventurine are in the lead now.

I did some editing and decided that the paler colours don't quite work.

I agree! Although I'm not too too worried about keeping to a BMW colour.

Ultimately up to you, but you've put a lot of effort (love?) into restoring it, so might be considered almost heresy to not paint it a period correct colour. At least staying with a BMW shade isn't quite as terrible a sin to some

I appreciate that, thankyou!

Although I think I'd hesitate to call it restoring. It has been more... Preventing it from falling apart... :D

It will always have a lot of welding repairs, and over 200,000 miles, so I don't think its likely to be a collectors item.
