I feel much the same way about it y5mgisi. There is a member on this site, TexasJeff, with a truck called Ol' Brownie that is 1980 Dark Camel. In pictures, the color looks perfect but I don't know how well it transfers to seeing it in person.

You're suggested color looks right on Chris, as if you are reading my mind I've still got a couple months of block sanding ahead of me, giving me plenty of time to change my mind a few more times! Thanks for the suggestion on Acura and Audi. I think I really won't feel good until I find a real vehicle in a color I like that I can see in person, or pick something that looks good in pictures and hope that it looks as good on a test panel.
