    I love sublime green, and thats the color I want my Challenger T/A (clone  :P), although I have thought about '70 Pontiac GTO Judge 'Orbit Orange' (one year only color for them), because I love that color too. 

    Must be some kind of psychic thing going on, because I was also thinking about a greens this weekend.  I believe the Citron-Yella ('71 color, I think) would be similar to a metallic sublime green, maybe with a bit more yellow in it.  I also thought about the later model Ram color, the Kiwi-metallic, nice color but too low-key for me.  The Green Go/Sassy Grass Green is a very cool color.

      Sublime/Limelight FJ5

      Sassy Grass Green/Green GO! FJ6

    "Sometimes it's very difficult to tell the difference between FJ5 cars and
    FJ6 cars when you're dealing with photos. When you see the cars in
    person though it's very easy. FJ6 is the darker of the two."

    BUZZ!!!  Sorry, that is not the right answer!  They carry different codes.  See above for the codes and corporate names!   :o

    you should be able to go to a paint supplier and ask to make up a quart with metallic.. spray it on junk panals to get the feel of spraying. it takes some time to get used to...metallic is harder to paint also. this helps me, look at the panal at an angle so you can see it get wet.

    the main thing is don't rush it. set a time were nobody but you and your helper(if you have one), and you have all day. the last couple of cars i painted took 4-8 hours do it. a lot of times i get it ready to paint the day before mask ect. then come in the next day and wipe it down ans start the painting.

    as for what it would look like will here is my guess.
