Hi

Good luck, havent seen that kind of green on a charger myself... looks pretty good... think of keeping it that colour?

Would be different from the average car and look good doing it.

:cheers:

I haven't decided on a color for it yet, but my wife seems to have taken an interest in the color on the quarter panel. What do you guys think about this green?


I myself am not a green person (If i was to do the car green, i mayswell have optioned blue, or, if I did yellow I mayswell have optioned orange thats my personal preference)

However maybe a tad darker?

I know it looks nice and different just not something I personaly would pay for as I am a blue person, sorta that sassy grass green the challengers have... Never liked that green on the challenger but on charger seems to work :)

Keep comming up with samples if u can, id give you 4  :2thumbs: if you keep it green! :icon_smile_big:

I have never been a fan of green either. I was thinking about painting it a real dark purple or black, but green is my wife's favorite color and if all it takes is a green paint job to keep her from complaining about me spending money on the car then I'm all for it (at least until I get what I need done to the car) :yesnod:.

She still looks good, even the lower quarters aren't too bad from what I can see on the pictures....

Dont do black IMHO.

Black just tends to be "just black". Its nice, but blacks black so to speak. A lot of people do it to.

Dark purple...

If i come up with something I will be sure to give u pic.

I'm really looking for something darker than that. I really like your car, but I have a question for you. If you had it to do all over again, would you still put the vinyl top on it? I'm contemplating leaving mine off as I think they look better as a solid color.  :shruggy:

Ah boy.  Thats the million dollar question now isn't it?

Considering that I have replaced the top twice now, I would have to think long and hard about putting it back on a third time.  I really like the way the car looks with it on, but I have had a really hard time keeping it glued down and bubble free.

When I do my next repaint, I will probably leave it off

I will try photoshop that charger to a darker one. See what turns out. May not look real but at least it will give you an idea.

I myself, Vinyl top off.

sample 01,02 and 03. If you get me a good photo of a Black charger in sunlight... might be able to get something alot more interesting that would actually look more real, as I wont have to darken it which causes the light reflections to darken also.

G-Man, can you make the top match the body on the first one you photoshopped? I kinda like that color as well as the color of the diecast 1 posted by 69bronzeT5. Thanks guys.
