Lime Rock Green
I am in the process of a body off restomod project of my 73 big block Corvette.
I’ve been searching for the perfect shade of green for the new color.
I’m looking for a paint without a lot of metallic and metal flake.
Some is ok, but some paints look like they belong on a bass boat.
I just came across a photograph of a 2014 C7 in the original Lime Rock Green color and would like to see more pictures of the color in different lighting.
If you have pictures of your C7’s in Lime Rock Green, can you post them?
Thanks, Greg

Lime Rock Green Metallic is beautiful. I miss mine! It positively glows in sunlight.
When the sun hits it, owners often hear "Oh, I thought was black!"
Lots of LRG pics:

Lime Rock Green is a beautiful color, that's for sure. And as mentioned, dark bowling green metallic is also a stunning color. Then there is polo green. So, lots of good choices for your C3.
