    Army Green, opinions?

    Ok, so I've been working on my project e30 and it's getting to the point of paint.

    I've really been thinking of going with a dark olivish green, very similar to what I would call an army green.

    I sprayed the a bit of my car with a very similar colour and quite like it.

    There is nothing crazy going on the body, just iS lip and boot spoiler.

    With Semi matt black hood and trunk (altough not 100% set on this)

    French headlights and stock tails.

    Opinions? I know this wouldn't be the colour most would paint but I think it would be unique I quote like the colour.

    Similar to this colour

      There is a factory colour close to that. You have to look it up. it looks pretty bad ass IMO.

      I was up above it, Now I'm down in it ~ Entropy - A Build thread.

              As long as it's not metallic, I'd go for it.

                      I was thinking that it would look best to have some sort of WWII army/air force paint style would be sick.

                          I have seen this green before in person just never new the name of it. A forum member just posted his car. A very cool color.

                            It won't be metallic it will just be a semi gloss.

                            I have actually sprayed a rear quarter on my car with the colour I like. I will snap some pictures up.

                            I'm still undecided on black hood and trunk but I'm leaning more towards body colour.

                            Everytime I think of green this car comes to mind.

                              My vote nay. It looks good on the touring, but I could think of better unique colors for an e30. To each their own.
