    I've been kicking around painting my 2 door a differant color other than the factory dark green. Today a saw a new Pontiac G6 in a copper color. I'm sure some of you have seen it on Grand Prix or even Grand Ams. I've never seen a Mav done in copper before. What do you think about a copper colored Mav, with a black interior and a black vinal roof? Maybe call it the Duracell??

    I know of 2 people who are planning on using that color on their project mavs. One of them is me. It is an awesome color and the sun makes it wild. Your duracell idea is right on.

    :) Yeah, she did a good job, didn't she? :)

    of course, it did "consume" my 03 Lightning in the process, so I'm driving her old Z3 till I can find just the car that I want... Seriously looking for a good V8 Mav... reasonable...

    I'm thinking about painting my 73 Comet, the Acura Imola Orange Pearl. Saw it at the Auto show this year on An Acura NSX.....

    I've seen that scion color. It definately got my attention. For anyone that watches the "Trucks" searies on TNN, I'm planning on painting either my 71 or my Ranchero the same color as the Coperhead project.

    That's awesome. Talk about hard to touch up.

    Yeah, I wonder how easy it will be for them to blend in the top when they paint it...

    I love the copper head color but, their web site said it was a custom mix by ppg. I live stock car colors so it would be easier for a regular body shop to fix crash damage :D
