jevansio Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I was just browsing the MR2 forum & came across this beauty of a colour: It looks alomst black, yet has a green fleck when hit by the sun. It's a stock Toyota colour, has anyone ever done their Supra in this colour? Also if anyone has seen one in person, are they as black as the pic makes out, or are they quite green even in the shade? I'm not sure if it would be one of those decisions where if I got it done 6 months later I would be saying "I wish it was black" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Depending on the light they can look very green in places but it's usually only a highlight. There is another shade called Mica Green (I think) that tends to be a bit more obvious. It's a nice colour, could work well on a Supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yeah I think it would work well on a Supra too (what with it's nice curves and all). Just not sure if I have the balls to move away from tried & tested black . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yeah I think it would work well on a Supra too (what with it's nice curves and all). Just not sure if I have the balls to move away from tried & tested black . be a man! go for it, i was unsure about a colour change but, im glad i did. just make sure it's done properly if you go for it,there are so many bad repaints out there which to me devalue the car. If its done right it wont affect resale if it ever comes to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I was so close to doing this, just could not decide between this and BM carbon Black.. in the end the blue fleck won me over. Go for it! I still wished i had gone dark, dark green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 My step mum used to have an MR2 in that colour. Very nice, I think a supra would look good wearing it........do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 I think the dark dark green would actually compliment the bronze wheels I have too, Need to think about it hard, black is such a hard colour to beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Some days I actually miss the absolute black of the non metallic supra. I spent a good few sessions pawing through all the swatches, and I could never find a green that was dark or lustrous enough for my liking. If you can find one then all good.. I couldn't :-( it took me months to decide.. ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 It is a very nice colour! I'd find it a real tough choice too. Not sure I prefer it over black though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 i would think very hard about it too if i was you, black takes alot of beating when its all polished up plus i think the green isnt all that of a colour but thats my opinion the others seem to like it though. there are some real nice colours similar to that in colour chips we have at work, if you have a local paintshop see if they will let you flick through there colour chips, might think you like the colour or find a better one.

stupra Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 A guy I work with has a TVR in this colour, in some lights it can almost look black. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Very nice, check out monaro phantom black, has a green fleck and looks amazing in the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Black can't be beat visually in my opinion. Nearly everyone has black, wants black or sprays black though so it would be better to do something a little bit different. Basically its almost like picking the right colour and being different adds up to being better than black. I think that would look excellent on the supra, would be either unique or one of very few.

EdMorris Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Very nice, check out also a porsche colour, dark olive metallic. Thats lovely, very black but tint of dark green in the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 I think that TVR colour is Charcoal Reflex, was another colour I'd considered if I got a respray, but again didn't know if I had the bollocks to leave the stock black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_si Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 When i was living in cyprus there was a nice dark green n/a out there but back in 2004 they wanted the equivalent of 16k for a 1995 plate. rip off bandits. it did look mighty fine in the cypriot sun though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I quite like that colour i think its lovely! Plus if you do get it done it would be a very unique colour for the Supra as you dont see many green ones about but there are loads of black ones (although black does look the nuts as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 You'll more than likely regret it mate, remember you wanted the murder look (Still not forgotten about the spats don't worry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Think that colour looks quite nice actually! Go for it and be different! I remember when I went to respray the EG Civic 7 years ago & I decided to be different & spray it Orange. An I think I kicked off a trend, now you see loads of people who have sprayed their car orange (Yep Matt H copied me ). When I was going to do it, a lot of people said ah just do it black or blue and be on the safe side. Don't think we guys buy the Supra for the safety aspect of it so go for it!
