Someone buy this...
Not mine, I wish! Although I'd rather have a different color, it's clean!<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1995-5-Audi-S6-Avant_W0QQitemZ130209083883QQcmdZViewItem?hash=ite m130209083883">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1995-5-Audi-S6-Avant_W0QQitemZ130209083883QQcmdZViewItem?hash=ite m130209083883</a</li></ul>

Re: No matter how fast it is it's still green.....
Actually because it's a darker color with not too much metallic you've got a chance of matching it so it's a pretty practical color for a street driven car, much more so than silvers and light metallic blues but not as easy as non-metallic colors which you can touch up chips with a brush. Pearls look nice & have a lot of eye pop but try to find a painter that can match them on a 10 year old car, it's just about impossible, plan on painting the whole car or getting used to looking at different colored panels. Thank God I don't paint anymore --- well only with a touch up brush now. ~ John Buchtenkirch

Green over black is a good combo. It's green over beige that's slow :)
That is one of very few black-interior Avants I've ever seen. It looks so much nicer than ecru or (even worse) platinum...

Re: I hear you there John. The driver's side of ours is the wrong color....
That doesn't even mean that the whole side of your car was damaged. The body shop may have sprayed only 1 or 2 panels and the paint match was so poor they blew in the whole side of the car figuring it would be less objectionable to most people. It's a common thing for body shops to do and when it happens you should the boss crying about the extra paint costs. Having to repair an older pearl paint car is usually about a 5 Tums job <grin> for most body shops. I'm glad I was a heavy man before it came on the scene --- I never was a very good painter anyway, welding and straightening metal was more my forte. I like pearl cars, when they are cherry their pretty sweet but after all these years I have "the body man's eye" ---- it's more the body man's curse, I don't notice anything good on a car body, only the flaws. So I pretty much always pick up white cars, they are easy to match and easy to touch up chips with a brush. Also I always get dark interiors because I'm always wearing work clothes. Then I just force myself not to look to close <grin> and try to stay happy. ~ John Buchtenkirch
