I like it. It's different. Not you same old red / tan you always see. The GTO is more of a race car and it looks racey to me....

I like it too. It does look a bit like the viper snake skin green / black combo

'Warmwater' & 'Gulf' nailed it IMO.

'Looks like the paint was mixed & sprayed by a disgruntled Earl Scheib apprentice. :frown

Flat black is the only 'primer look' that works for me, and that doesn't cut it on some cars.

Wasn't that color available on FIAT 128s between 1973 & 1978?

That makes a lot of sense, since Ferrari is owned by Fiat. They must of had some old stock of paint to use up. :lol

That color and the fact that I learned that Kim Kardashian owns a 458, has taken some of the glow off my recent 458 purchase.

Looks like somebody took their matchbox car, a little to serious.

Nasty. That overall combo will send car designers into convulsions.

Not fantastic IMO....but I think green can look good on the right car.

This Ghibli Spyder just sold for 800K plus premium at Gooding

Yeah, but that is laquer and a totally different color, very pretty. That Ghilbi is supposed to be a great restoration.

I think we are going to see more matte finishes from the factories. I like the green, but then again I like this too...
