Anyone have any idea what this color is called?
I've only seen it on Dodge vans from 70's and 80's

Mercedes Cypress Green.
When the light hits it, it looks just like the green from old Ray Bans.


Also, is it just me or do metallics from back in the day change color in bright light way more than what they're using know.

Mopar Green

>>15404521
Maybe has to do with the fact they used oil based paint back in those days, instead of water based like they use today.

Most cars are single stage with no metallic flakes now. Higher option paints use pearl, also flake based, which is gorgeous in its own way but it won't pop like metallic paint IMO.

GM's high end paints are usually a 3stage tintcoat which is pretty cool and gives depth. Most of Ford's stuff is single stage in eye bleeding colors although Matt said Nitrous Blue had massive flakes in it. Not sure what type it is yet as I haven't seen it nor do I want to google it. Ironically, Toyota/Lexus has Mica paints which is their trade name for pearl. MOPAR runs the gambit and does whatever it feels like.

The only people using oil paints after 1950 were people who didn't have a spray gun.

Metallics have always been 2k and obviously cannot be single stage.

Don't know it's name but LandRover had a similar Bluish/Green Metallic color at one point.
I still see 90's 110 Station Wagons with that color.

Actually, a lightweight, high revving American V8 is pretty fitting for a TVR. Something like a modern Boss 302 on an aluminium block, or a DZ302-style LS would be great.

Love it.

What's the white pearly color that they used on LS400s in the early 2000's?

Well i have a question for you, /o/. and I figure this place is as good as any.

Why are 90% of modern cars painted in such drab colors? White, gray, black... Sometimes you might see tan.

What's the best period correct paint job for a 68-70 Chevelle? I'm buying poone to restore and want to do something other than the black paint job everyone does.
