    I would do one up as a Sandy, with canopy, would look the goods,

    Hazard is metalic hmm, still I drive a Devil Monaro still feels like old hat, and heron white we looked at a SV6 in Heron, they dress up well but still very old colour

    Black is awesome they look the ducks nuts, but to be honest love my Morphious SS, that in a VE ute with canopy with the right colour stripes mmmmmmmmm sex on wheels

    Black is Phantom. Been around since from memory VT release. I remember the VSIII SS was available in Phantom, at least the 2nd 300 with the roller cam 304

    VS also had Raven black too. The phantom had more of a cherry hue to it.

    Raven was the black with the green through it I think. That wasn't a VSIII colour. I think there was Panther too which had blue in it (or maybe the other way around). One of those was the black on the first of the VSIII SS utes (with the older engine). Phantom has silver in it which was on the second lot of the VSIII SS utes. My guess is Phantom was released on VT which from memory was during VSIII production.

    Panther had the green in it. I remember that one well. A workmate did his Mustang in it.

    My top pick for the current crop of colours has to be Poison Ivy. Maybe with a white/light green/purple Sandman stripe kit?

    Geez. That is the only colour i'd refuse to have! Even if the car was $10,000 discount and brand new i'd still knock it back! Which is what I did with my CV8. Hothouse was $10,000 cheaper than Quicksilver, Redhot and Devil at the time.

    I "like" some greens, but not really bright and/or light greens. For example I'd have a HJ Sandman in Jade Green if the car was what I wanted in other areas like Kingswood ute and 308 TH400, whereas I probably wouldn't have a Jamaica Lime one, not for the same price anyway - if I did I'd respray it another colour. In HQ I'd have Monterey Green but not Barbados. Poison Ivy is a darker metallic but it is just too bright for my liking.
