Can a mist green chevelle look good?

[race-rodz]

go for the green, but pick a darker green that matches the int color for the stripes. obviously its not a resale color, but it would be different, and in a world where every other car is black or red....different is good

You asked a loaded question..As we all know, we all have different opinions and are entitled to them. Sometimes asking a question like this can confuse you even more. Been there done that!! We all like input though.

I think as Frank said. Reds & blues will always be safe colors. Kind of like TT wheels. You see them everywhere but always look good & excepted. Me personally I like being different. I think green in the right hue would look good. I think if the car is built & detailed right, you can almost pull off any color. I have seen some cars with what you would think is an hideious color, but they were able to pull it off. But some...you say WTF?? Once again though just my opinion.

In the long run though, it's your car. Do what you think looks best.

Did I confuse you more??

You also have to look at the rest of the car. Mist Green is a vintage color. So it begs for other vintage cues such as cast spoke wheels, the right amount of chrome trim and as you mentioned--a matching interior such as darker green. Even a black vinyl top can help complete the look.
So if you absolutey must have the latest Budnik trick of the week 22" polished wheel, Mist Green may not work.

It sounds like you dig the color. You can now get large diameter tires with vintage redline stripes. Wrap em around cast spoke wheels such as the offerings from Vintage Wheel Works or PS Engineering, complement the look with the right upholstery, lower the car to draw more attention to those redlines....and you'll be beating off the bidders and onlookers with a stick.

I agree Steve. If I wanted it to look original I would have kept the vinal top, trim and 14 inch wheels.

I am still very confised about paint color. I was considering silver but silver isn't anythinsg special. I was thinking about a custom orange/ bronze but then should I keep my fiber optic lamp monitors?


I had a rendering done on my car. See link below What do you think???

Any other wheel recommendations? I tried a few other wheels but most of them are too expensive(1700+) or they don't belong on a car from the 70s

I was thinking this Satin Jade Pearl color on this 300 looks nice. Not sure how it would look on your car. I have 5-10 colors i cant decide between for my car. Light m/blue, black, silver, and a sandlewood color are on my top 5list, but i added this satin jade pearl color to the list also.

Uh let's see green with TT IIs.....you'd never guess what my vote is..

Man... I just went through this color picking process myself... what a pain in the ass. The more people you ask (like I did) just gives you more ideas and complicates or draws out the process.

I did something that really helped me. I chose 5 or 6 colors and gave the codes to my painter. He sprayed each color on a test panel of sheetmetal about 8x11 each and sent them to em. I compared them in the sun and in overcast. I tell ya this really helped me. Might wanna try it. Cheap investment to make before you spend big $$ on a paint job.

I really like the mist green on your rendering. Maybe try some gunmetal/anthracite/gray wheels and I think it would be killer. It really is your call and you have been told more than once the 2 routes you can take - your choice, or the safe resale choice. Do what you think is best and don't look back.

Good luck!

Yes, If you paint it Red or Black.
