If I go with the blue, do you think it could pull of the japanese chrome handles, trunk bar, and inner headlight rings?

I figured it out... what was bugging me about the Verdigris.

Looks similar to (but darker than) Mystic Sea Opalescent, an OE color on the later 2GS.
(my Mom calls this type of color "pond scum")



Nice enough on the GS, but not worth changing from Spectra!

I would have said red, but that's not red.

It's a matter of personal taste. In my case I love the black on black, second gray, third white, and last vine.
From the 3 you pointed out I like the last. (RED)

I would say that Grey flint Mica, I've seen this around on some GS' on CL; it's a very rare but nice color. If not....out of your choices I'd say the Verdigris Mica looks nice. GL!!!

See, that's what I just don't get. Why paint it from Spectra Blue
(a "2% color") back to a "normal" color like grey, white or black.
Even the Vedrigris is pretty subtle; most people would not know
this color didn't come stock on a 2 GS.

All that trouble of doing a color change... black or Flint Mica... really?

You guys have no imagination!

I vote for a deep dark green color. Its a mature color thats found on all high end luxury cars. It will go great with the chrome theme without standing out as much. Another plus is that it will work perfectly with the tan interior.
