That's the crux of it. When it is fresh it looks great, when it gets faded it looks like (self censored). I know, I have two 69 Roadrunners and a 69 Charger that are F8 and in that condition.

....sure but that is true of pretty much all the available paint colors. I prefer EF8 to all the '70 colors except TX9. I also like FY4, FK5, EK2, EV2, EB7 and FC7 but the other dozen colors I'm less interested in.


Most people don't care for FY4 or FK5 either....

Oh well, I don't have to worry about fading paint; cars been painted for 8 years and hasn't even needed washing yet.

No, but you do have to worry about the car jumping out of park and trying to kill you.

I assume you were able to get the paint on the new hood to match the rest of the car?

---

....good memory! Luckily (?) I had the forsight to order an entire extra gallon of EF8 base. I guess I panicked when I heard they were going water based on the base clear base coats and I figured a match would be impossible.

As it turned out, I needed it for the hood and also to repaint the trunk as I forgot the fuel tank brackets when the trunk floor was put in...

Personally, I couldn't stand having most of the high impact colors, but to each their own.

Hi Dave,
I had a fugly F-5 GTX that I painted the brightest mixing color yellow I could find, Indy Cylinder Heads used the car in their advertising, It was in all the Mopar Magazines, It won 1st place at many shows and was features in Popular Hot Rodding winning the "picture perfect award" winning a slug of Mother's polish products, Engine Master magazine did a article on the car and Flowmaster used it in a article in a Mopar Mag. If it was F-5 or F-8 I really doubt it would have been so popular. When I tell people It was puke green people would say I'm glad you didn't repaint it that color!! To each his own life would be boring if we all liked the same colors

They tell you that and all I get is compliments on my EF8 car's color.....to each their own indeed.

If changing the color of your F5 car (and I'll admit that F5 isn't one of my favorites and I'd never compare it to dark green like EF8 or GG1) makes you happy then good on you......I personally don't like color changed cars but as you said; to each their own.

I can't stand some colors....but I seldom make little faces on a thread with a bunch of guys that own cars in those colors....figured it was rude but again...to each their own.

I love dark green; I had a 70 442 in Sherwood Green Metallic and I ordered a brand new Jeep TJ in dark green as well. I've never wanted a yellow or blue car and couldn't abide a pink one myself.

I love green.

With all the haters, that just leaves more green cars & green interior cars available for me.

My car has green interior as well.

F8 is my favourite Mopar color. Along with the Browns, it may well have been a color of it's time, but that to me makes it all the more appealing. I don't know why some people feel the need to post on 'green car' threads how much they hate it; I don't care for red/ purple/ pink cars, but if some ( most? ) of you do, then good luck to you. I'm willing to bet that if Steve McQueen had driven a dark green Charger in a movie then we would be over-run with green Chargers that were originally red.

The Charger Steve McQueen was in the chase with was black!!!! Black is probably the most popular color on a 68 to 70 Charger
