OK, the post on the F8-Ivy Green got me wondering about F4.
I am working on an F4 car.
I had seen a car at Mopars-in-the-park that was nicely tweaked. I believe they added some more gold metallic in it.

Just by using a base/clear it will be better than stock, but any other suggestions? Anyone have an F4 that really looks nice and has aged well?

I don't like F4 as much as EF8 or GG1 but it doesn't look bad either IMO;

You might have seen a car that was Y4. It is very close to F4 only has more gold in it. Where F4 is light green with a gold tint, Y4 is gold with a green tint. With all of these colors it all depends on the light or lack of light that causes the colors to appear different.
Here is Y4 under shop lighting.

Since we seem to be going gaga for green, of the greens, F3 is my choice.

I'm not a huge fan of the light greens....as much as I like EF8, I think GG1 is my favorite green. I hate FJ5 but that may have something to do with the 200 hours I spent cleaing sublime off of all my underhood components due to a poor partial color change!

Green go is kinda cool on some cars...

The gold is one of my favorites, though I wouldn't consider it in the green family. It does look green with green accents/trim but with black it definitely looks gold to me.

I went with a more modern green, 2006 mustang Kiwi Green, did the 5 star paint with PPG clear for the outside, single stage for the inside. I like the light green but wanted something easy to duplicate if I ever got a scratch or fender bender. Tim
