Customs Seafoam Green? Love it /Hate It?

I love this color!!! Is there a name for it, or is it custom mixed?

 

I love the color. Here are two;

 

1960 Chevy "Seafoam Green" is a very specific color, as is 1960 Chevy "White". If you want to bring this off successfully you'll need to have your color mixed by the exact factory code to the exact factory hue...not just something close.

Close, in this case, just won't do...in my most humble opinion. The truly spectacular effect of a factory paint scheme on a modified car comes from it being "spot on" to original.

I really like Seafoam and White on Chevys and well remember a high school classmate who had a near-new '57 Chevy Bel Air convertible in Seafoam Green with a white top. I hope you'll choose this combo for your 'wagon...you'll like it!

Just my $.02...hope it helps.

 

Seafoam green was always the first crayon out of the box, and used til Icouldn't grip the nubbin no more !

 

Green is nice !!

Dig the color on the old trnasisitor radio in my avatar.....

I am not a big fan of green,but my dads 53 Chevy cpe is painted Seafoam Green on the bottom and Surf Green roof and he doubled the 210 side trim and its dark green in the stripe.As a matter of fact,its a 79 Cad color.

 

Dig the hugh man!

 

I had a '58 Roadmaster when I was a kid that was sea foam green from the factory. I recall thinking that i would paint the old beater mid-night blue but now in retro-spect it was a pretty slick color. I would paint one that green in a heartbeat.

 

What is the 55 Ford color code for the sea foam green? I have been looking high and low and can't find it.

 

Love seafoam so does my wife.Even painted our bathroom that cooler.Very cool.

 

Those colors work well togther for me. DO IT

We also put a very light coat of pale gold fine ground glass in the first coat of clear for a little extra bling when the suns on it.

 

I had a '55 f100 that was seafoam green. Its a beautiful color, i say go for it!

 

We painted our 59 Olds seafoam n white. It looks great.

I liked it the wide whites really made it look good.

 

My grandfathers car.

 

Love it

 

My 54 chevy was Seafoam, I loved it!

 

Love IT!!! I really like the seafoam in a flatz

 

Wow that's beautiful.

 

Here is what is looks like now. I am almost done with my body work and I am getting ready to prime it. I was looking at the Arizona Green Tea can and I think that is what I am going to take in to the paint store to see if they can match it. What do you guys think of a light seafoam metal flake over it? Too much?

 

I don't know if this qualifies as seafoam , but it is the perfect green for this "A"

 

id paint it tropical turquoise with a pearl white roof.

 

Love it, had it on my fist car. 58 ford two toned. green on bottom and the roof.

 

Here is the color I was thinking about. Does anyone know if this is a pearl shot over it or is it a flat clear? (I hi-jacked this pic from ChevyGirlRox)

 

That sure looks a lot like the truck that was on the cover of (Custom?) Classic Trucks a few months back. Built by Austin Speed Shop.

I love it. The only thing I don't like is I'm trying to get a head start on my interior while I do the bodywork and I can't decide on what colors go best with it.

I'm thinking black, black and white, tan, or tan and white. Tough to decide!!

 

My 55 Chevy with the factory sea-mist green and white . The interior had the original neptune green color.

 

I have brought this thread back from the dead. I have laidd down the base coat for my wagon last nite. Tonight I will be putting on the flake so what do you think so far?
