I am quite fond of that color as well. I believe it is known as dark bright teal metallic, could be wrong though. Here is irocbirdbuilder's car.

Can look decent though

Pictures simply cannot capture how great the teal metallic color is when it's shiny and new.

Here's a pic of my car before I painted it last year. Loved the color at night and at low light, but in the bright sun it wasn't my favorite thing about the car.

I totally agree with you there. I love how this color sparkles, but in direct sunlight it sucks

I hope everybody sees what I'm talking about with these different pictures being posted. The color is pretty sweet in low light, but with the sun on it; it really starts to look like a nasty blue color.

HOLLY CRAP that is a nice silver!!!!! Is that stock silver??

I was 100 % set on getting mine re-painted white, but after seeing that silver I am acctually having second thoughts.... Oh man, now I am so confused. I love my nostalgic white but that silver looks so sleek, my car is gonna be totally shaved, no handles, locks, Z28, nose or rear emblems, (maybe the Z28 on the back), 3" hood and lowered. With gunmetal ZR1 rims.

Do you guys think that that color would look good with gunmetal rims? Now that I think about it, it might look bad with mismatched silver/greys. Input please, and if I have luck on my side, someone will photoshop the first pic to show me what I am talking about.

Hope you guys can help out.

It's not a nasty blue color, it's green. Every girl I've shown loves the color when I point out its secret color changing abilities.

In the end i bet I will, I am 21 and this is the only car I have ever owned. I think I have too many memories from it being white to change it.

GM Arctic White.


That last pic of the teal camaro looks awsome

Like I've said, that color looks great under low light, but it looks so girly in direct sunlight, I almost wanted to throwup.

I know I sound like a broken record in this thread, but I wouldn't be if it really wasn't as bad as I'm saying it is.

Yup. The stance is perfect. The ride quality is not.
Jamex springs. As far as I am aware they are no longer made.

The dark bright teal metallic is an awesome color when we went to get teh paint for the rs the guy at finishmasters said it was one of the most expensive stock colors he sells without getting into candys and what not, Color has a ton of blue green pearl in it, certain lights it changes colors from light green to dark blue at night, I have a pic in front of the f16 i took and printed and the front of teh car appears to be green but as you go back it gets darker to where it looks blue at teh back

FUnny thing is when i bought the car i absolutely hated the color, but its grown on me

lol im starting to like the color in all these different pictures...

the color for some reason looks like absolute *** if its dull at all....my white is dull but still looks decent in sun...its not glass like but its still alright

unless teal paint is like a mirror for me it just doesnt do it...i cant explain why teal only. Faded black with like nice chrome wheels never bothers me.

same thing with mystic teal metallic... the color fades into a deep purple in the shadows almost chamelion(sp) many people have compared the color of my car that of a mood ring the way it fades and shines different colors in the sunlight

This is the best I could do for the moment... you sorta gotta see it in person to appreciate it.

EDIT: I have no clue why they came out blurry... probably because the upload reduced the size of the pictures, but the first picture is probably the best shot. The entire decklid is the bluish purple color. In the second the passenger side of the car is blue while the rear is teal. And in the third it shows from a different angle how it fades in and out. Either way, you can see how the color changes in all of the pictures.

mystic teal is a very change-y sort of color. my bro had it on his old '95. he sold it for a '94 that was bright teal i think they called it. mystic teal was WAY better.

You should hook up with the FL-Thirdgen folks, the space coast chapter meets in Merritt island on Friday nights. I havent made a meet in forever because I've been changing a lot of stuff on my car, but I am going to try and make it next Friday.
