:thinking: An easy way to coordinate the greens would be to select a medium to dark green; then, to make the lighter green, simply mix the same darker green with white, maybe 1 to 1 or 2 to 1 or.... If you are using metallic green, choose a metallic white to mix with it for the lighter color. For the interior, use something like a blue, tan, or white or a print that has just a touch of the green, if you can't find the color you want.

Regardless of what we suggest, you know what you want and it will all come together in the end and everyone will be thrilled with it.

Yes, Dan
As I said ....metallic can make a car with as much bright work as the cars of this era had, look Great! :thinking:
Sorry I am not computer savvy enough to add a link in this post.....but, if you Google Image 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline Aerosedan.
On the third line down you will see a two tone green(both metallic) Fleetline between two "woodies"....click on it and it will take you to a page with another image (with license plate # 5260)
Tell me what you think?? :thinking:

Here is a green two tone paint job that I really like https://www.pinterest.com/pin/518547344567748994/ , but I am sure any two tone you come up with will look great.

Happy painting
