I think that is awesome! It looks a lot like the Silver Jade Metallic to me but I've been wrong before

When I got my 65FSTBK it was silver. So I had it painted Black Cherry Then on October 4th a guy backed into the drivers side door now its been repainted back to the original, which was Champagne Beige + I added Chestnut Lemans Stripes to her. I will have someone to help me to get some photos of her on here soon I hope

I would like to see that plainsman.

While we are on the topic of paint. What would you think about taking truck bed liner paint and using it around my wheel wells and underneath the car? To keep it from rusting in the future since I replaced all this metal. Would that work?

That's been done a lot. Sounds like it is nearly bullet proof. They do make coverings for the application your talking about though. The bedliner stuff is a one time thing. Once you do it, it isn't ever coming off. That may be good or bad depending on what your looking for.

Looks like Grabber Green to me too. Here's my Legend Lime (Originally called Lime Gold)- and yes it is a very hard color to photograph, depending on the ambient light you get anything from solid gold to a silvery green- it basically changes color with the weather.

I painted mine caspian blue. It was originally twilight turquoise. I almost went with ivy green. I really like it when a color that was originally an option is used. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so whatever color you like unless its hot pink should be just fine.

My car is painted Highland Green. I know that this was not the original color for this car however. My other project that I'm working on is a blue, I don't think its a standard ford color either. However, my plans for the blue coupe I have are hopefully its going to end up Lexus Spectra blue and some sort of orange color combo, very similar to FakeSnakes setup up on one of this cars. The blue really stands out in the light and looks great in contrast to the orange.

for how much paint jobs cost, you would think solid gold would be the paint choice
