I'm pretty sure no car was ever mass produced in olive green. You're gonna have to work w/a source that can mix something up or just keep mixing things and keep track of what your adding.

I'm not looking through manufacturer's chips, I'm looking through PPG's "custom colors" chips, they have a chip book of about 250+ greens alone. It's just the issue of finding the right one. and actually if you go to www.paintscratch.com and search for "olive" in the color name search, a ---- TON of olives come up.

Going to have to custom match or create your own man. The hatch above was also a custom color, no real code incolved, just a custom formula. I also went this route with my Integra but it too was a custom mix.


If you can find a good shop to work with that does custom mixes, you can bring in an object of the color you want to mix and they will try and match it to that. The kahki color, maybe bring in a piece of plastic or cloth or something in the exact color you want and they may be able to match to that. Good luck.

whatever you do make sure you have extra since you'll probably never be able to mix the same exact color again

a proper paint shop will have a book you can flip through that have swatches of color samples from various car manufacturers.

750 a gallon is a lot of money. Buddy got a gallon of a custom mix silver for like 100 bucks. Durable? Will it last? I say so, it's still holding up to this day and that's where I plan on buying my paint.

That seems a bit pricey for the paint. My friend got some paint for about $450 for a gallon. I know it depends on color though.

Dude I don't know where you are going for paint but that is crazy. What kind of paint is it? Are you planning on painting the door jams and under hood. That will determine how much paint you will need for the base clear. If you arn't painting painting the jams I think that you will only need a half gallon. And the olive color that you are looking for is in the nissan sentra. I think that its a 98. Not for sure. If you have a friend that mixes paint you might be able to have him mix up a half pint for you and then you can tell him lighter or darker more green or more yellow. Keep track of what you put in there so you know how to make the big batch of it. But you have to have an idea of what color you want to get. Also you can play around with the pearls but that gets expensive. I would just go with a yellow pearl in it. That looks bad *** in green paint. If you want cheap clear that looks good and lasts go with TranStar. $70 for the gallon and $30 for the hardener. And it sprays great. And to make your bodywork look great get a long board sanding block. I think I paid $17 for the one I have and it has lasted 2 years so far and hasn't broken. make sure you get a high build primer. Prime twice. Sand in 180 first the after the second time you spray you will final sand with 400 then 600. But after you sand with 400 get some guide coat (black cheap spray paint) and spray the whole car down LIGHTLY. then sand all the black off. Anymore questions
