Looks cool! Do the calipers too.
Is like Lamborghini green? Does the sun change the shade?

That looks really nice. It takes guts do to what you did- to step outside the everday vette-palette (of colors)- and from what I can see and how you described the process - first rate quality paint job.

Reminds me of my 93 Acura GSR green. I loved that color. Yours looks great.

Congrats! It looks Good.

I wish Chevy would make Vettes with hot new colors like this to spice things up. Maybe even make them Limited Edition colors kinda like the Synergy Green on the Camaro. That has turned out to be a very popular color.

Full Custom System with JL 8 w7s Focals, JL 1000/1 and 450/4 amps Dual Batteries

I Usually dont keep cars for more then a yr or so.. Had this one almost a yr, Dont know if I could ever let this one go..

Not normally too big on the electric colors, but I do really like it, the color looks great on the car, and the dark wheels set it off well. Nice job!

Thanks for all the kind words Guys!

SCOTJo3 -- Thought about doing the calipers the same color.. Went with a Brembo Gold color to match the gold pearl in the green paint. May try the calipers in green later down the road.

I thought about doing the Lambo green, but saw a few cars painted that color and realized IMO that is only a color a lambo could pull off. Needs alot of body lines to make that color.

Will take some more tomorrow of the Roll bar and start button painted the same color as the car. and the system..
