Title: Paint Colors
Post by: Matt on November 27, 2005, 09:32:26 AM

I can't seem to find out if this is a 356 color or a custom mix, does this look familiar to anyone?

I was told the oval is Roseau Green (but I've never heard of that color) and the Porsche is Mango Green.

The top one is Beryl green L478?? Same as my old 72 beetle.

I tried that colour on my old notch and did not like it at all. MHO

Its not like the car is ready for paint and I need to make a desicion now but...I like the idea of a Porsche color, but I haven't found one that says\"pick me\", where I have at least 3 VW colors that are contenders. I am open to suggestions if you know of a nice Porsche color though, in this color spectrum.

Matt, That does look like Mango Green (VW) or Palm Green (Porsche). You may also want to try early Mercedes colours if you like some of the early porsche stuff...

You cant beat Green! But Im thinking Paisley is more of a suitable color for you.

Settle down Fester....Paisley ain't a color, rather a pattern. Something I imagine will be all over the seats in the fiat.....
