"bathroom green" ??? 
I photoshopped two colors, personally I'd go with a dark blue... since you like green I'd pick a darker green metallic (which I couldn't get photoshopped)... what about British Racing green ????

Don't get me wrong, I love green, but I would stay away from the neon green unless you want your car to look like a Mopar. I like factory colors, one of my personal favorites is Elkhart Green. But I think you are going for a more custom appearance for your car so, I think that you should look to House of Kolor, they have a few shades of metallic green that I really like.

No, I cut the car out and made it a "layer" - then used 'hue and saturation' and 'color variations'
I couldn't get the dark metallic green that I wanted

have you checked out Turquoise. It was a C4 stock color.
I don't understand why people are so fussy about paint jobs. Your going to kill yourself (or your wallet) doing this car again. Just drive it.

Gdaina's and mine are 68 British Green (NOT BRG, "American" British Green). It is a lovely fine metallic and is often mistaken for black in poor light. Pics here
If the tailights are the only area affected fix that and drive it. The current color does work on your Vette, maybe the customising makes it. I also like the color in your avatar.
