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!

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.

it's a kind of BMW green
I love the contrast with the gasburners

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.

Great pics guys,
I like the '88 jaguar racing green Rich submitted, the car looks great with black interior.
The black/white interior never was my cup of tea, but i have to admit it looks really neat on this car.
thank you all for your input.
keep'em coming...

The only way a wooden dash would look 'hot' in a 914 is on fire.

I dunno, I think the right type of wood would look really nice. I'm certainly interested to see what you come up with Leo.
I really like the Irish Green, been thinking about repainting my car that colour.

Color is from a 1980 VW Scirrocco, metallic green (by PO). Interior is tan. Unfortunately the car was flooded during Hurricane Ivan and is out of commission.
