The car has to go under the knife and it is currently white... was "light ivory" but is now something closer to grand prix white...

Thoughts?

As long as you do black wheels and either black or green trim it will look awesome.

Chrome does not look good with pastels IMHO. Not enough contrast.

When I saw the mint green I was hoping for the Porsche color Ice Green Metallic.

satin black or silver would look great with the mint IMHO. Mikes car actually had what appears to be a factory repaint in a metallic mint color. I think it was a 911 color. Here's a pic of iot in the front truink under the blue and over silver. I thought it would look really nice

My car is Conda green, so also a bit darker then the mint. I hate the way my wheels look, and have been meaning to get them powder coated black. But it has not happened yet.

In the late 70's Porsche had a color called apple green. I remember it vividly on a 78 or 79 911SC that a short term Australian PCA member had on a RHD SC. It was beautiful!

My BMW 2002. This was a 1957 Fender Strat color I had custom mixed to match. We called the color Bavarian Mint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Most early guitar colours are from the automotive paint catalogue - especially on Fenders from the 50s and 60s. Still easily mixed straight from the Ford/GM/Chrysler paint codes.

Love your 2002, Rick!! That would be Surf Green, a '57 Chev color (among others). I had a late 50s P-bass in Surf Green that had faded to almost the exact color of your BMW in the pic. Here's my current Surf Green Tele.
