Infini IV color difference: GU (Shade Green) vs. VQ (Noble Green)

I've tried searching but can't find any pictures of an early Infini IV in Shade Green and a late model IV in Nobel Green to compare side to side. It's been bugging me, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Uh.......little late for thinking :P

Colors goin on my front clip in the next day or two. haha.

Was just lookin into it in case I changed my mind at the last second cause I'd only be out $50 bucks for the pint of base I already bought. Once that goes down there's no turning back.

Of the 600 made, the first 300 cars built on limited production runs between June - Dec 1990 were painted Mazda paint code GU (Shade Green) while the last 300 cars built starting Jan 1991 through February 1991 were paint code VQ. Of these last 300, 20 of them where sent to MazdaSpeed for the MazdaSpeed Package which only did minor cosmetic changes like MazdaSpeed embroidered seats, MazdaSpeed steering wheel and shift ****.
