Your opinion on Patina?

[Outlaw525]

that's a great looking car. Love the stance and motor. What tire sizes are you running front and rear?

Thanks, yours looks good also. Tires are 215/70-15 and 275/60-15

that's a great looking green. I would leave as-is as well. What color code green is that?

Thank you. The car was built F4 light green metallic, which has a slight lime-gold tint to it compared to the car now. It was repainted at some point (I'm guessing late 70s/early 80s, since it's still single-stage) with a cheap Earl Sheib spray, for some reason. I think there may be a hint of bondo over the drivers rear wheel - maybe they scraped a garage door or something. The panel inside the trunk is straight, so whatever it was, was more "scrape" than "dent". And, every panel is original - it all has the original paint on the backside, and all the original hardware.

There's a half dozen thumb-smudges on the driver door jamb where they were trying to match the color - and couldn't. My guess is, they couldn't get the color right so instead of painting just the damage, they taped and sprayed the whole car. It's close...but definitely a more blue-green than the F4. Hard to tell looking at it, until I open a door, or the trunk, or the hood, where the original F4 is still clearly visible and you can compare the two shades.
