Viper Snake Skin Green Test Paint
« on: May 03, 2015 - 10:23:07 PM »
Hi everyone.

I'm almost to the point that I'm finally ready to paint my challenger.  I was looking at painting it 2008 Dodge Viper Snake Skin Green.  I did a test paint on the front valence. 

Here are some photos of the results.  For reference, there is a photo of Viper in snake skin green that I saw at a mopar car show/swap meet.

I think I like it.  The pearl in the paint makes the color change a little bit at different angles.  I'm just wondering what it will look like on a Challenger.  I will be putting a black vinyl top on it, black 71 RT side strips, black ducktail spoiler, the grill will be flat black along with the tail panel, the hood will have the blackout sticker on it to.

I'm curious what everyone else thinks about this color being on a Challenger?

Yes that is the side stripe, it will say R/T as well at the end.

Is that green viper snake skin green on your challenger or a different green?

Thanks!

Ultimately it is your car and you can do whatever you want.

IMO, that green looks awesome on the valance.  It'll look even better on the rest of the car.  :cheers:

Thanks guys.  I'm more than likely going to paint it Snake Skin Green.  I'm starting the prep work now to paint the back side of the hood, doors, trunk lid, trunk area and engine bay now.  Hopefully if a week or so, those areas will be green.  Hopefully in about another month or a little more, depending on work schedule, the whole car will be painted.

Thanks!
