Looks great. A hell of a lot more exciting color than the FEW offered by Chevrolet; Black, white, red, silver, a crap brown, a light blue they aren't doing yet, a horrid yellow/green and finally the crush orange which IS fitting for the C8.

That color looks FANTASTIC on the C8. I wish that GM would offer some sort of bold and daring color choices other than the boring same colors. Hell, even something like VW is doing with the Golf R with the option for some really fantastic and bold colors at an up charge would be a step in the right direction.

I guess if you are blind, I can easily spot a wrap v. paint from a helluva a lot farther than 6ft. And, if you want your Vette to have a "10ft" paint job..... to each his own, but I think this paint job is great, its unique and makes the car better, something I rarely say about a custom paint color.

Hats off to a great job!!!! must have been a great project!!!

I still dont understand why GM wont offer custom colors in their state of the art new paint shop????? Seems to be a profit magnetic idea.

I happen to like it a lot. Nice job.
I guess if this isn't your cup of tea you could always order UPS Zeus Bronze.

I think it’s great. The Corvette needs more colors like that. It’s a sports car. It should have some loud colors available.

IMO sorry, the C8 does not have the lines, especially the rear end for those European colors.

It’s unique, thankfully. In all honesty probably not bad, I hate the color but admire the originality.

Green with the black looks hard on the c8 and I’m usually an all black over everything type guy.

Might do this to mine whenever the z06 drops.

Honestly not surprised all these old guys don’t like it.

Some of these guys actually prefer something like silver rims over black on a sports car, yikes.

I'm not a fan of bright colors, like red or yellow for instance. I wouldn't paint my car green like this, however,
I think it still looks amazing and the color really pops against the black. Very nice, reminds me of how
Rapid Blue pops. Great paint job.

Very,very, nice and unique. There seams to be creamy quality to the paint which gives it a softer look.

Let’s see a non stock color that costs a bunch to sand and spray. In a few years no additive value and likely a deduction in value, let alone liquidity upon sale. Wish you luck.

Great job and love the color. Where in Millersville are you located? I am right outside of Annapolis and would love to swing by and check your shop out when all this COVID dust settles.
