Re: Dark Green Paint codes 70-72

I have a love/hate relationship with my 506 Dark Olive (Metalic) -- just for the reason you stated: too much gold metalic in it.

If you want to keep it factory colors then it is the 506 DarK Olive Metalic or the 505 Dark Green. We had a 505 Dark Green '72 and it was like see ten's picture there.

Since I have owned both greens, I lean towards the Dark Olive as the gold only shows on sunshine days up here in Minnesota. I like the Dark Olive Green much better in terms of "green" then the dark green (non-metallic). In the shade or cloudy days, the olive really looks nice.

Maybe try a shot of the Metalic Dark Olive only have the paint shop put in like half the gold metalic parts and just paint a fendor or door or hood and see how you like it.
