interesting green color

This is not going to be the color of my car but I thought it might be interesting -- my painter just mixed together a bunch of left over paints he had lying around to seal the primer and do an initial color coat for final sanding.

Looks like the color they used to put on Buick Rivieras when they first came out in the mid sixties.

Yes, yes I know this color it's, isn't it, I think it's SEA FOAM!

Randy, It actually looks like a silvery green gunmetally color which IS interesting although in a different light this might look like Daquiri.
What's the final color going to be?

Looks real close to the color on my 76 911 when it was first painted.

It'll be Gemini Blue -- the car started life as some wierd gold custom color. I can see why a PO repainted it (to Guards Red). I'm not fond of the cop attractant colors and my last 911 was Gulf Blue so Gemini it is. I had a shop owner here drive up to Vancouver, WA and inspect the car. He didn't find the thousands of tiny bubbles under the paint... apparently water in the hose or wet primer or something when painted. After this, the only thing that will really need restoration will be the ratty cheap carpet. Then I can begin another round of suspension upgrades...

This almost looks like the color of my SC only mine has a bit of gold in it 265 Oak green. It almost looks black in this picture but up close it's very similar
