i really like the diamond green but it seems to vary on colour depending on what paint is used ect (as most colours would i assume)
alot of the cars in diamond green have more of a gold tint to them but the top car and the one i'm posting (i think are the same car) has a little more green to it and i am absaloutly love this colour.

well im saying when i have to paint the car...how do i find the paint with that exact color?? are there places that carry it or do you have to have it matched by someone?

Tue Sep 14, 2004 8:05 pm

i think most places have the code capability, they can easliy match it.

I think I have the original paint forumulas for 57's. I might be able to hook you up if you want to get it mixed.

I think i have all the original mixing formula's for 57's. Hit me up if you want to get them mixed.

FYI.. Martin Senour AKA Sherwinn Williams couldn't mix Diamond Green for me. I ended up using PPG, which I like better anyways just cost a hellava bunch more.
