Re the pic attached... - I THINK the rear license plate bracket that came off my car shows a GB5 repaint, even though my car came w/ a spare quart of EB5 that wasn't a good match for the car - The test strip shown below the bracket is the "modern" B5 like a new Challenger color option, which is supposedly based on EB5 - The old paint factory chips IMO show EB5 being more of a "pure" blue, whereas I agree the GB5 has that greenish tint in comparison As someone else pointed out, there are sooooo many variables that come into play when trying to identify paint colors. Just a change in the lighting when I was taking pics like the above made the differences in the colors appear far more extreme than they looked to me. This one looked more "real" than some of the others I took.
