Not a factory color, but it's painted!

Hey Gang,

Well, I went back and forth so much with my Charger on the color, and I finally decided on the color scheme I wanted. :scratchchin:  I wanted something blueish-green, dark, with a white top and interior to accent the teal.  More so, I wanted something that would fit the car's lines.  So, thinking of the vast colors out there, I decided on a color that was on my 67 GTO I had a few years ago.  It's Mariner Turquoise.  The top right now is painted white and cleared, and I'll be installing a white vinyl top next week or so.  I still need to cut and buff and that'll also be next week, so the color should really come out nice after that.  It was my last week having my own paint booth.   This is my last paint job, unfortunately.  I painted the jambs, trunk, and underside of the hood.  I'll do the engine bay when I pull the engine/trans/front end next month for a rebuild/detail.  I'll changing the interior over to white, adding a console and the SE woodgrained trim too.  I think it's coming along!  :2thumbs:

Cheers  :cheers:

PS:  Yes, a nice dual exhaust is on the agenda too!!

Very nice choice of color for the Charger!  Your selections for the interior will look great too.

Sublime/Sixpack

I think that color works just fine on that car. After you cut and buff it it'll really look sharp!  :yesnod:

Is the rear drivers side quarter above the wheel well dented? Or is it just my crappy vision?

Nope, it's not dented in the least.  I thought the same thing after I took the shot, but it's just something in the reflection.  Thanks for the compliments.  I'll post up after I do some polishing! :2thumbs: :coolgleamA:
