The lime green, as bad as it sounds, looks real good on your car. The blue does too.

Can you do a flat black 73... I've seen this on a few cars around town and I'm not sure if I like it or hate it.

I removed the bra after this picture was taken.

I also like this color. I keep thinking about flares and repainting Red73. This maybe an option if I can figure out the color. Rod

I imagine if you print it glossly and take it to a good paint mixer they could scan it and create a formula for it. You might have to send it to a company like house of kolor to get something like that done. I dont know. If you dont pursue it though, I may because I REALLY like that color!!!!
