I love that colour! I haven't investigated but to me it looks very like BMW Urban Green. Very reminiscent of some '70s BL greens too. |

At this angle it looks like a cheaper Nissan KPGC10 GTR  Great find. |

I reckon the humble Triumph Acclaim lends itself to the same treatment - do it someone!

Sadly knowing Honda's own, if very rare, green for the '79 Prelude makes that colour disappointing.  Obviously I think they've plenty of potential.  .. And it makes me more disappointed that I've neglected and must fix mine again!  &/or implement modification ideas. |

I know the guy who owns that & have sent him a link to this thread. Sadly knowing Honda's own, if very rare, green for the '79 Prelude makes that colour disappointing. IIRC, the car was this colour when he got it. Looked fine at first glance but when he started poking it, the car was an absolutely rusty mess so he tore it apart and rebuilt it like this. He's done all the work including paint himself in a workshop he shares with his friends. |

Great to hear he didn't give up when the trouble was revealed & persevered to make it special.

I just spoke with him. The colour is not something off the shelf, apparently he just mixed together colours until he had something he was happy with  |

My grandfather did this with his garage door, came up with some awful colours! His thinking was that if he made it look bad my grandmother would get someone in to do it...

i would only change it by ripping the cage out and getting a bumper back on the rear...the rest is perfect!

I would describe that colour as Gank. And its wonderful, as is the rest of the car. Does need a rear bumper tho. Edit# Actually, I would describe that colour as Tundra green  If its not, I bet its a darn good match. |

Tench green I’d call it. That’s a compliment by the way, my favourite fish.  |

I’d call it duck sh1t green, looks great though in a duck sh1t green way.
Great looking car & the colour suits it bang on.
