What's this color?



Anyone know what this color is? I might have better luck asking this on a paint forum, but maybe this guy has a build thread somewhere. Thanks!

Re: What's this color?

It makes it difficult looking to match colors when lighting can change how it appears..It may not be a chevy color on that truck, but ck. out a 1966 Chevelle color called Willow Green..looks pretty close..That's a great looking truck by the way..

IMO, to me, it looks gunmetal grey with silver metallic flake. Looks like a custom paint mix. ?? extra clearing, also...that's pretty mirrored.

I'll check out that color, I appreciate it.

And yeah, looking at it, it may be a gray rather than a green with some reflection to it.

On a pc screen it can be tricky finding paint colors, colors in general. Google "gun metal grey" and see how it looks to you.

If there is metallic flake in it and a few extra coats of clear it will appear a little brighter than regular gunmetal grey paint, standard clearing.

Here is a picture of my junk. The color is GM Storm Grey Metallic. Looks pretty close to me.
