Customs Seafoam Green? Love it /Hate It?

I was looking for some opinions from you fellers. I have a 1960 chevy wagon I getting ready for paint. My first thought was to do a black base coat with red metal flake over it on the body and on the the top a frosty white with a white pearl flake on that. So I have been sanding and the original color is coming out and it is that seafoamy green. I stand back and look at that and I think I like it alot better. I think it would go well with my idea and direction. I was thinking of doing a frosty seafoam green with the white top. Do you guys/gals think I am crazy? Have I brought my mind set to the days of pastels and checkerboard paint splash graphics with this color choice? Should I buy my hawaiian shirt with 57 chevys all over it now? Or will I accomplish my goal of having a late custom / early lowrider. Any and all opinions welcome.

Thanks,

 

i dig the green

 

Love it~

 

Do it. It's the perfect choice...

 

One of my all time favorite colors....and if thats your bird in your avitar, I dig the paint. Just sold my 60 bird to put money in my 59 chevy wagon.

 

i like it !

 

I'm a big fan of green......but Seafoam green and other similar colors are just too pale for my tastes, always looks faded IMO....

 

Haha! It sounds like we were in the same boat my friend! Yes that is my t-bird I just finished it is now getting pinstriped. I wanted to sell it also but my wife really loves it. And Thank You for the compliment.

 

I like it. Its a period color, too, at least for stockers. I couldn't say how many customs may have used it, though.

 

i like the idea. here's one of mine.

 

I can see what you are saying. I was trying to think of some ways to brighten it up a bit. Or maybe just stand out a little more. I saw a truck in The Rodders Journal a 55 chevy that has a seafoam green a little on the bluer side but it knocked my socks off!!! By far the coolest color on any car or truck I have seen anywhere.

 

VERY NICE!!!! Is that original? If not what color (if you you don't mind me asking)

 

How 'bout the Seafoam green....but with an abalone pearl white top...for extra ZING.

 

Wouldn't that be "green turquoise", instead of seafoam green?

 

That's the color of my guitar and it has a white pick guard, it is a *****in' color- paired with white it has glow to it!

I love all of those seafoam/ surf green / tropical turquoise type colors on a 50's car. They ain't too shabby on a Stratocaster either.

 

We've been trying to get someone around here to paint a car seafoam for years and haven't been able to get er done. I think it's a cool color on the right car.

 

Seafoam and white? You could say I like it...

 

That would be super cool! I think I know a place where I could get real abalone pearl too!

 

It's just a color… it all depends on how you use it!

 

My 59 Chevy wagon was originally sea foam with a slightly darker top, was planning to keep it that way but sold it before paint. Did this Rambler last year, everyone seems to dig the black with it.

 

Seafoam Green?! My absolute favorite color for older cars , my Stude was originally White over Seafoam (or whatever Studebaker called it) Green. If the day ever comes that it gets painted it's going back to factory colors.

 

Saw this wagon at GNRS. I don't know what the colors are but I really like it.

 

LOVE IT! Probably one of my favorites.

 

If that Rambler pic doesn't seal the deal then I don't know what will. Looks just right.

 

Seafoam....a cl***y color.....very cl***y.

 

I am just waiting for CANDY SEAFOAM GREEN!

 

I asked the paint guy for a seafoam green. I like that color. This is the color he mixed for me. Not quite as close to the color on the hirohata merc or the other ones but i guess its still considered a seafoam. Its not the permanent color but something thats easy to touch up while its being "modified". A color this light though tends to show alot of stuff....like greasy hand prints or road grime.

 

are you talking about the factory GM color that came on the mid 60's cars, like the 65 impala or something different

I want to paint my 57 that color.

 

I know Mine isnt Seafoam..

But I do like The Seafoam Color..
