Green is hard to pull off. Also it is one of the least popular colors. It is your car, your wallet, your decision. Of the choices, I like the last two.

Candy paint jobs are really expensive as well.
I own a body shop and Candy paint is ridiculously pricey.
Depending where your at you'll look to spend no less for 2500 to 3 grand in materials and supplies plus labor.

And difficult to match if the paint needs to be touched up or accident damage repaired later down the road. How much, how often and where do you plan to drive the car? |
