Went to order some GM: WA4325 brewster green paint and the supplier told me there is no metallic in it.

I have a metallic dark green hood, and thought it is brewster green.

Cheers,
Sol

Man I sure hope someone on the forum has a brewster green car....

Been searching a while now. Haven't seen a metallic example or mention of metallic flake. If you want metallic, the flakes can always be added. If not, looks like you're painting the hood too.

As a guess, you might have British/Jaguar Racing Green Metallic on the hood. It's a popular choice and is pretty close to Brewster Green to my eyes.

Thanks Tony.

Turns out that brewster green is not a metallic color, at least on this side of the pond...
The paint supplier sent me a sample and told me Rolls Royce had this exact same color too in the 70's

The hood is probably Verdant Green or similar, GM. WA4325 Brewster Green is almost black in the shadow.

As you say Brewster green in UK is a bentley colour used since the 30's and very dark solid colour.last time I saw it was on a newly restored boat tail supercharged Bentley by H Horse field & son ltd. Looked stunning and very similar or same as the Pontiac colour.

Thanks for the good input Sarah!

I painted some parts and the color is better than I imagined, will post pics soon.

Cheers

I've never seen a Brewster Green Firebird in real life. I knew of the color, but this thread was the first time I've seen it on a 'bird. I was thinking how beautiful it was going to look when final assembly was done.

Then this video gets posted today. '73 Brewster Green T/A, 678HP LS7. Car was completely restored by Detroit Speed.

Thought you might enjoy seeing what youve been working so hard towards. Can't wait to see yours assembled too.

The gaps are so tight I can't pop the hood..what crap. Can't watch shows with idiots like that just talking rubbish for the camera.

Yes that is a little bit strange video lol ... nice car and nice work though.

I'v seen couple brewster green trans ams, but never really paid close attention to the color.
