    Please let us know how the Seamist Green paint job turns out! I have a particular interest in this one as I will be painting my Malibu this color sometime in the future.

    I guess they didn't. But neither did GSX convertibles and people make those. Clone/tribute/Frankenstein/'70 Skylark with GS trim or whatever you want to call it.

    Anyone want any of these spray-outs I did? They are done in RM paint and clear. If you plan on painting your car this will give you a good idea of the color.

    Sean pleased you picked Seamist green as I had hoped, couple it with white interior and top, tinted glass and you will it will be a visual knockout.

    Not necessarily. My buddy who I'm building it with, his wife liked the Seamist so we're going with it. It was one of my top picks as well.

    Can someone photoshop Chris Lance's pic of the sea mist green convertible with a dark green vert top?

    Awesome choice, I’m kinda proud I mentioned it to you in my first post because other than Aqua Mist it’s my favorite, I can’t wait to see how amazing it’s going to turn out!

    Tried it but, I'm not good enough with photoshop to isolate the white top of the car with the white garage background. Sorry.

    I see , makes sense that the woman got to choose her color .
    I remember that guy trying to sell a seamist convertible for like 10 years and couldn’t give it away .

    Body is being block sanded and going back in the booth for another prime. Then the body is coming back off and the chassis is coming apart. Should make some good progress in the next couple weeks.
