Time for a new color for an SVX
bought a nice 95L model that was stock teal a few months
ago, but since its been in Az most its life the paint was pretty toasty on top Decided to paint it the new SAAB Midori green I thought looked pretty cool. I added a JDM wing and painted it to match, next Ill add some 16" Wheels and tint, then will probably sell it, cant keep them all

Looks pretty sharp. Not a color I'd expect to see, but I think it looks good.
Shouldn't your JDM wing be black though to follow the black/green scheme?

but I like the way the green wing rises in the back to seperate itself from the trunk a little. I really am tempted to put on some 18" Lexus rims.. but not sure if that will happen

A tad bright for me to want it on my car, but I like it, it's different.

Spoiler
Me, being a ricer at heart (I can admit it), likes colors like these. I think its awesome. And what you did with the JDM wing staying the color of the body I like too. Since it comes right down to the rear fender the color just moves up. Its nice. Like. really really really nice...I personally don't like the JDM wing as much as the US one, but used in this way, it definately gives it a good reason to exist in my head.

i would have added a little more blue to the color you used. it doesn't look horriable, just not my color taste. i really like how you did the spoiler in the back, i think that looks neat!

A pinstripe might look nice on it, possibly a candy red or blue...

Colors
Okay Dayle,
Looks like you are going to add some color to the SVX world! So, you didn't say, what color are you going to paint the sought after silver car?

thanks everyone
it really even looks better in person and the more you see it the more you really like it (well, I for me anyway )
I also like it because its a factory color and easy to match later on, and lord knows there are enough dk teals or teals period out there for Svxs, so thought this one would stand out and be easier to sell down the rd. Not sure if I want to put larger rims on it, dont want to get too much into it before I sell it. It has new 16" tires on it and I have several sets of nice 16" rims lying around that would look nice on it for now. Im sorta aching to see what the Lexus or some other rims would look like on the car. (even a few of the Ace wheels I have on hand I currently have on Ebay at the moment) Unless I just decide to do a full leather interior, wheels and end up keeping it for a yr or so !! (must resist temptation...) Silver car ? thats for another thread another day sorry

When you first told me what color you were going to paint it, I almost gagged.
Now, everytime I see it I like it more and more. Reminds me of the line in our windows...
