Just picked up my car today from a friend who painted it. My car was originally dark green, and I had it painted Flint Mica. From what I've read on the boards, flint mica has a greenish or bluish tint to it.
Although I haven't seen it on a bright day yet, I can't help to wonder if the car has a green hue to it. What do you guys think? Could it be possible that the original green paint is coming through (meaning that he didn't sand properly?) Or is this just how flint mica is supposed to look?
Thanks for any opinions.

Do you guys have any experience with flint mica? I've only seen pictures and glances on the streets. I liked the way it looked from far away, but never really took an up close look. I'm just hoping that the paint has a greenish tint to it. Should I be complaining to my buddy?

i suggest your buddy fix the color to what you wanted, if the shade you have is what you wanted than keep it. the paintjob itself looks good though

it does look a lil off from the 4 pictures the other dude posted, but if i were you i would take OLT's advice
jus chill for a month and keep it in the back of your mind and if you still aren't happy
then let the *****ing commence towards your buddy
