Hey all,
I've been doing some thinking, and it occurred to me that a metallic dark green (a la British Racing Green) might not look too bad on a 914, especially with a tan interior... Since the factory green colors aren't all that IMO, I'd like to see if any of you have painted your cars in a (non-factory) shade of dark metallic green, and if so, I would love to see how it turned out... Thanks! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I posted this yesterday on another thread. Not British Racing Green by any stretch of the imagination, but it is green.

British Racing Green, Tan interior and a real wood dash...That would look hot.
I'm going to be making some wood dashes in the near future. PM me if your interested.
Going to try some exotiic woods.

Heck, I can contribute to this thread:
This color is 88 Jaguar Racing Green; stock black interior, though.

There is a dark metallic green 914 with a tan interior here in AZ, saw it at an AX a few years ago. Sweet, sweet, sweet. I'll see if I can dig up a couple pics..

Oak Green Metallic is a great dark green metallic. And it's even original Porsche color.

The day I brought my '75 to it's new home after sitting in the PO's garage for some 15+ years....notice the thick coat of dirt. It actually cleaned up quite nicely. NO rust; perfect interior. Blocks under the tires were because the plastic door latch actuators both broke and I couldn't get inside the car to set the hand brake until AAA came. I know, bad photo.
