Some guy on lamborghini talk says draco verde is the same as a jeep liberty color... says its exactly same but I'm thinking it's just close. I think a dark mossy green metallic looks good.

Does it have to be a factory color? I say dont limit yourself. Not to imply that custom colors are better, these days OEM has an awesome selection of cool colors, pearls, etc. But the more choices you got, the better. I originally intended on going with an OEM color (lambo as well) but ended up going with the Dupont Hot Hues lineup on the recommendation of my painter. Im extremely happy with it, and an added bonus that no other car on the road (or highly unlikely) has the same color or effects

I guess I'll kinda let the cat out of the bag.
For 2+ years now my car was going to be Aston Martin's Glacier blue II (pearl powder blue color), then most recently I've been thinking alot about doing this M5 metallic brown color, but now that I see that alot of Y33s are about to do paint, I think I'm gonna sit back and see what y'all come out with first. I still have a few more options up my sleeve so incase y'all do one of the colors I want, I still have other options.

Only thing holding me back are the funds. Paint jobs aint cheap


*Since day one, this is the car that I've always wanted to model my car behind.
I really wanted to do a color like this and do black accents

We aint all caked up with military funds, CCs, etc. my dude!
It aint about when you do but how and what you do. You might have done all this shit but give me the right funds and I'd come correct as well

Oscar you are still way ahead of the game then most out there. Paint isn't exactly an easy thing to decide on especially since you can't just take it off the car and sell to anyone like rims. Paint is pretty much a huge lose since nobody is willing to buy the car with the price of the paint tacked on.
