Default Paint?

Volvo just put a new color out for their 2004 S60R and V70R models called 'Flash green metallic'. It's a little bright, but I think a two-tone with your original green would look gorgeous, IMO.

I don't know about the white roof. I think I'd go monotone on this one.

I like super light silver with a possible hint of the stock green metalic added in to the base mix, or as a pearl in the top coat. I think the roof should be the same color as the body.

I like the idea of breaking up the body along the main line with a splash of the stock green color then trimming out the calipers, QA1s, intake grooves, acc. brackets, etc. in the green. You could also two tone the dash and or do the inner door panels in the green. The white interior is going to be hard to work with on about any color.
