Green 49-51 Mercs

Trying to figure out a color scheme for my car. Does anyone have any photos of 49-51 Mercs painted a lighter shade of green ?

I'm thinking about something close to the factory lighter green with pearl added.

 

The Hirohata Merc would be one.

 

Here is what I was thinking about painting my Merc....I'm years away from getting
to this point. Kool idea, I think it would work.

I photo chopped this Merc.

I'm not sure how it would look on a 49-51 merc, but mopar has a color called snakeskin green on vipers that's pretty cool with alot of goldish looking pearl, I'd love to do a mid 50's chopped Caddy in this color.

 

This is really close to what I'm thinking...maybe with more of a silver tint to it...

 

You seriously need to look at OZ's merc. Simply stunning.

I think that car is probably what set me in this direction; definitely one of my favorite cars

 

Something like this

 

Here's a couple green ones from Billetproof NW this year.

 

i got one started, im doing green on top from the cowl above the upper stainless all the way down the trunk, and a silver base on the rest. its a scion green, looks good for a factory color..

And the one that started them all

 

Heres two for you. The carson toped 50 merc has a little gold glass on it. Hard to see in this pic but in person and on a sunny day the gold glass realy lights up. BTW I think this is the same 51 merc that been photo choped

Thanks for all the photos everyone....

This Merc is the exact color that I was thinking about....

 

Can anyone tell me what the name of this color is ?

I'm guessing it's a custom mix... but it doesn't hurt to ask
