Default Shades of Green

As some of you may know, I have a Tahitian Green Pearl CRX. I'm doing full body work to it right now and putting on a JDM front end. When it comes time to paint I'd like to make it look OEM but still have a touch of custom to it. Like make the paint really rich and deep like a Lamborghini. Anyways are there any shades of green/blue that you think I should consider for my car? Or something I should do to the TGP to make it look a little different?

I would stick with the stock color. If you want a deep/wet look, I would suggest getting a good paintjob done. I use PPG base/clear and painting stock colors and comparing them to a factory painted car, there is no comparison in the rich deep finish.

Check out color swatches from SAAB and BMW at your local automotive paint supplier. Good Luck.
