            Here is an example picture. The guy says it looks much lighter in person - http://forum.eastwood.com/showthread...y-green-powder
            good call on the olive drab, looks great against a black car!

            I wish i had pics of my manifold/VC at the moment. I painted them duplicolor high heat 'cast iron' color. on their website they show it as greyish but in reality it turned out like a metallic olive drab. I'ma go and try to find some batteries for my camera

            i know, i know...it's paint not PC, but we're talking color anyway

              I want to see! I hope this doesnt turn out too dark... I hope it wont. They got back to me after I ordered and said that the color on the honda intake was lighter than this. But it should turn out fine. I bought a lb... this should take just over 1/2 a lb so later he can do my door handles too and other stuff

              I want to get everything powdercoated too!

              And yeah this guy... I he was a nice guy. I will be fine, but I will still be cautious. 20 y/o with a 16 y/o isnt that bad..

                            Well I see the sarcasm in the one post.

                            However, I really do think this matte army green will look great on a black car.

                            As well as a copper color

                              It's painted, not powder coated.
