    I just recently dropped the gas tank to have a pin hole soldered. When I dropped it I noticed th Paint was a light metalic green color. The rest of the car all over and every nook and cranny is a mettalic blue. Just was wondering what was up with that ?

    Usually means a repaint. What is the color code on the door sticker?

    Could be overspray on the ecoat, depends where the car was built and when, they didn't really paint the bottom of these cars to well.

    Check the door for the original paint code and it may let you know it was repainted

    Well I could see from the Id tag on the Core support and the sticker on the door it was 3E Blue. Must be just over spray, I dont care I was just curiouse.
