MinnGreen's GT is probably the only good looking green car I've seen... Many years ago I knew a girl driving around town in a very lime green SE and it had to be the fugliest thing I ever saw. The car was perfect but the paint job just killed it. To each his/her own so it's entirely up to you but with all the photoshop pros around here you might wanna get a sample of the color and let someone put it into a picture before you lay the actual paint. Just my .02
The color she picked is a lot lighter than yours minngreen it is more of a metallic lime green the paint shop will be custom mixing it for us
Looking forward to seeing it! Are you thinking of a metallic color, or something solid? I've always liked the lighter metallic green that was used on the Ford Mustangs for awhile...

Thanks! I actually get that comment a lot - Many people don't really like Green, but when presented right - they think it's a nice look So do I.

Ah yes... saw that car a couple of times at Dells Run. Talked to the girl last year at Dells, her BF was driving it and hit & killed someone in that car not so good...
That Jaguar Green is a beautiful color and fits the Fiero real well.
Thanks again! The car was previously painted with a cusom-mixed Corvette Med. Metallic Green w/gold pearl. The colors are amazingly close, but the Jag paint is much nicer with the right light!

Is it like that silvery green color on the new mustangs? I believe they call it Legend Lime. I LOVE that color. I thought about painting my Fiero that color awhile back, my only worry was that maybe the color only looked good on a Mustang. I don't like that brown color they come in, but other than that, Mustangs in general seem to be able to show-off any paint color.

Legend Lime:
The Mustang Green I was thinking of is listed as "Electric Green" and was used in the prior generation body style... This is the color I wanted to paint my old '88 T-Top project car (has since been sold... still in black primer).

Yeah, I love that Legend Lime. I've never seen a color like it on another car before though, I'd like to see if it looks as good on anotehr car as it does on the mustang.

it is very close to the electric green that ford used actully the color is called green apple metallic and it is a 2006 gm color but i am having a hard time finding a vehicle that uses that color on it Ray
Green is my favorite color---I Like them all, I swear, a car salesman could say this car has a bad trans & engine--but we want 3 times what its worth ---Ok I`ll take it....lol.... Ray ---just a quick note, if you go with custom mixed paint---make sure to get the code & some touch up ---just in case you would need paint somewhere down the road.

they stat that we will need three quarts of color so we will be getting the gallon of color and they will write down the wieghts of the tints so we can get more if we need it.
