OMG! KIA Yellow Green Paint Match
 

So, I drive my '69 Sled around town a few days a week...because the boys love it and so do I :metal: While out, I keep seeing these little green cars every now and then...and think that green sure looks close to my '69 light olive. I finally saw one parked and it was a KIA "Soul". I pulled the Sled up next to it and compared the two and the KIA color is almost a dead match! So took a picture to see what you all think... The sun obviously does things to colors in pictures, but in person this was basically the same color.

You can go with this, or you can go with that.... :lol:

Re: OMG! KIA Yellow Green Paint Match
 

Ha - of course I agree!
What I did like about it was it didn't have that base coat / deep clear coat look of a show car. It had more of a single stage look...which is what I'd like to have my future repaint look like...

Their dark yellow is almost identical to ochre...

The more things change, the more they stay the same!

Re: OMG! KIA Yellow Green Paint Match
 

Cool to see those two together. I've been seeing that color on the KIA's for a while now and it always seemed like it would be a close match.

Re: OMG! KIA Yellow Green Paint Match
 

I have noticed that to. There is also a close match on newer green mustangs.

Re: OMG! KIA Yellow Green Paint Match
 

Normally a car I pay zero attention to. Now I'm seeing them everywhere :lol:

Re: OMG! KIA Yellow Green Paint Match
 

Look...

Re: OMG! KIA Yellow Green Paint Match
 

No joke! Now I see those little turd-blossoms everywhere!

FWIW - The name KIA gave that particular green that matches my 69 light olive/yellow green is pretty cool...it's called "Alien Green".

NFW! You must be a Photoshop genius!

Re: OMG! KIA Yellow Green Paint Match
 

I wish I can photoshop like that! It's actually real. It's a company from Japan that does these conversions. Here's a link from this forum. Thats when I first saw it.

Okay - so the temperature/humidity last night was awesome, so the wife and I decide to drive the boys to a costume place in the Sled. And what the heck is parked next to where I am parking??
A friggin' KIA painted Alien Green!

Re: OMG! KIA Yellow Green Paint Match
 

How unfortunate. Of all the vehicles running around out there, it has to be a Kia that matches the color? Bummer. But you gotta give'm credit; Those are great colors! They just happen to look so much better on our rigs than on those little toasters.

Nice burb you have there!

Re: OMG! KIA Yellow Green Paint Match
 

Don't knock those KIA Souls. I bought one in 2014 and its the best car I ever bought! Perfect from the factory, good on gas, lots of options and not one single problem yet! Of course I like my 72K10 just as good.

Re: OMG! KIA Yellow Green Paint Match

Having a heck of a time matching 504 medium olive in single stage.
I last purchased Valspar Spralac 150 and it was custom mixed close but I have no number to get it again. I now have 3 different colors on my truck all close but not perfect.

Looked into the Kia colors and they have green tea, Alien I and Alien II
depending on the year. Has anyone done this and are we talking single stage
or BC/CC?

Thank You

Re: OMG! KIA Yellow Green Paint Match

Thank You
