Painting my veilside fortune rx7

Anyone know what this type of green is ?

It's probably photoshopped a bit. But I really want to get this exact green.



- Going to be using "Aikka" candy paint.










This is the closest I'm getting





This is my car currently

Of course the model photographs are photoshopped, not just a bit. You have a pretty cool car already, why copy someone else? I think if you had a girl hanging on your car it would look just as flashy.

On a side note, I wonder if the models ever scratch the paint while leaning on the car...

Apologies for the large font in the previous post.

Well, I'm not paying for this paint job as it's going to be sponsored this time. So I thought I may as well change the color.

I kind of didn't get the paint job done right the first time. It still hasn't been cured and polished. I should of taken out everything and painted the shell.

Also quality of paint isn't quite "car show" finish.

Cheers

If you are going to go green, then go Verde Ithaca, the color POPS in the sun. Or maybe a green similar to this M4:



Otherwise San Marino Blue is a great choice and will have more unique attributes than your current blue.

Yeah that green is nice. Just had a quick browse.




Although, this might be fairly photoshopped
