- - Angry Johnny's 69 Camaro Build (https://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php?t=58280)

The Camaro above is actually painted, Dodge Viper, Snakeskin Green.
The color of choice for me is, HOK (House of Kolor) Lime Mist. It was a limited edition color. I was about 2 weeks too late in getting the factory offering of this color, but luckily I found a paint supplier, that has the formula to make it for me.

Here's C10 Chevy truck that was painted in this color

I painted a test fender, to see if I liked the color, and I just fell in love with it!! Even today, when I open the garage, and see it there on the stand,it still blows me away.

I first primed the fender with HOK KD 3000 primer/sufacer

I then wet sanded it with 400 grit

As my paint guy suggested, instead of using a silver, gold, or white base, he said to use a tinted sealer, that's close to the paint color, so as to not have use as much of the expensive paint, to get the same coverage.

That's a cool color choice and great job with the fender :flashie:

You are going to love that color! I do. I had my Harley painted snakeskin green 9 years ago, still don't regret it. My wife thought I was nuts, but I get a lot of compliments, and every time I do I give her a big smile.

I still turn my head at Vipers painted this color. I love the bright greens. I swear there is also a 69 Firebird that is painted this green out there, too. If my memory serves me correct, they also changed the front to a camaro.

Test painting models was a smart move.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks. I got a little too excited and had some runs in the clear coat, but it was just a test piece.

I think the Snakeskin green would have been cheaper to buy, but not sure. This might have a little more pop to it, maybe. I've never actually seen a Viper with the green, to judge it.

My wife wasn't sure about the color either, till I painted that fender. Now she's a fan!!

Thank you. I have never seen the Snakeskin green in person. Be cool to see if there's much of a difference between this green and the snakeskin.

I believe you're correct and the HoK Lime pops more. Would probably have to park the cars side by side to see a difference.

Hi John, I just went through your build and YouTube posts, Nice job! You did a lot of nice work. Subscribed!!
