I don't see the 'lime gold metallic' color in that chart of yours...
I've had enough of black cars , but that jade black looks nice.....hard to really appreciate it in the sun....
Third up from the bottom in the left hand column. Nothing to write home about at all. Here is what it looks like on a car, as Plain as Jane can be.

[attachmentid=19255][attachmentid=19254] Reason this jade black is growing on me is it changes depending on the colours around it .

What do you guys think of this?[attachmentid=19256]

I finally got a picture of that perfect gunmetalish steel blue BMW color by the way for anyone interested. I think I am really leaning this way but the problem is no one can tell me what this color is. It actually looks a little more gray at csome angles but this one plays up the blue more. What do you think?

Good to know it's waxable, thanks B. I still am unsure how to clear the car in two different clears though. I can see on your car how it was workable in the headlight buckets and tail panel to just mask it off like with the color, but I am not sure how that will work on the black out hood? I still feel I am going to have to use a semi gloss black or something and have the whole car cleared in one stage.

it is just like doing a regular blackout hood, it will have a ridge.

Hey Pak, looks like it's coming along there. I found these on ebay and I was blown away. Hands down my favorite picture of a 69 so far. What do you think of the color? I'm not sure what it is.

Thanks Sajack, that will help alot to track it down.

Mr. Marley, how are ya. Yeah, that is sweet looking, generally what I am after. I'd be curious exactly what that paint color is called, it looks pretty good. I wonder if the guy selling it on ebay can be contacted? It looks like it could be PPG's Smoke Gray color. Heck some of the angles even look like it could be Fords mineral gray.

It was on ebay a while back, can't remember the color at all. It does look a lot like mineral gray though. Maybe someone here owns it, or knows.

Here's a couple of choices side-by-side! My former '69 SportsRoof in Champagne Gold Metallic and my current 2005 GT driver in Mineral Grey.
