You sir, have immaculate taste.

I don't know that I have ever seen this color before on a 2002.  I like it.  'Tundra Green Metallic'.

Pretty popular on E3 and E9 models.  2002's in this model, repainted or paint to order?  Lots of variation (single stage vs clear coat?) in shade for Code "068", but I suspect the E3 below is closer to OEM.

That color looks really (really) good on an o2 (IMO).  Nice.

Oooh, while I agree Florida is an absolutely WONDERFUL color. . . is it really green? I suppose it does seem to have some green in it but to me in pictures it always seemed more in the white/grey 'family' than green.  What's the paint sticker call it, Floridagrun, or just Florida?

Promise I'm not intending to be argumentative here, honest curiosity as I've seen so few in real life!

I'm hoping to find some photos of cars painted other non-2002 green paint codes, especially metallics.

 

 

Nissan's Millennium Jade 

 

 

Ferrari's Tundra ... cough cough ... excuse me, I meant "Pino Verde Metallizzato".

The paint name is simply Florida. I don't know why some greens are named by themselves, and some are followed by Grun. I don't think the absence of Grun makes it not considered green though. Turf is about as Grun as it gets, without adding Grun to the sticker.

Here's Porsche Oak Green Metallic.  (try to overlook the shotty paint job, the cap on my can of clear coat pooped out on me midway).  I really like the coarser flake.  It is a beautiful color in bright sun.  But it looks almost black in the shade and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Will look black at night!  Maybe a shade lighter would help!  House of Kolor C2C KBC09 Organic Green Kandy?

 I never think that much about it being green… But it is Turkis green
