Murcielago SV in Verde Draco - I need your opinion

Hi Guys, I need your help and opinion. I didn't want to paint the Murcielago SV yellow or orange so I tried something similar to the rare color of Verde Draco of Lamborghini. I think I catched it not perfect but close , still I'm not sure if this color suits the SV at all. Would you guys repaint it or give it a chance? Thank you, I'm totally lost. Here is the original:

And here's where I'm at the moment:

Thank you guys!

Re: Murcielago SV in Verde Draco - I need your opinion

i don't know..
honestly that colour a bit 'dull'.. doesn't really justify the SV

The same goes with R34 GTR Nur with something like 'jade' colour..
for me it is really a turn off

Paintwork looks good from here. As far as the color, if you like it, don't worry what we think.

I've never seen one in that color before. It has an almost military look to it.

With an insipid color and black wheels it is a change from the usual extraverted colours they come in.

You could always build another in a bright colour scheme to place alongside it.

Re: Murcielago SV in Verde Draco - I need your opinion

If it was the only Lambo on my shelf I'd rather chose something like red/orange/yellow. If I already had ten or more, it would be nice to have something different like this.
I agree it needs to have black wheels.

Re: Murcielago SV in Verde Draco - I need your opinion

Thank you guys, than I probably give it a try. On the shelf I have an orange Aventador, a light green Reventon and a lime green Gallardo, so it is definitely something different and solid. The black parts are already painted black, rims are gloss black, brake calipers are body color :-)

Re: Murcielago SV in Verde Draco - I need your opinion

Paintjob looks okay so I would not change it.
It's something different
Maybe you can use a carbon decal for the roof so it looks a bit special.
Tip: that color,black wheels, carbon roof...

Good luck,

Re: Murcielago SV in Verde Draco - I need your opinion

What looks cool is a very personal choice -- like they say, it's your shelf it is going to live on!

For me, though: it's a fantastic colour for an Aston Martin. But Lambo's are about excess and drama, especially in the extreme variant like an SV. Mine will be in pearl yellow or orange with carbon detailing and black wheels. I just don't think anything that shape does "subtle"...

But it's what you like that matters...

bestest,
M.

Your color choice is perfect. It seems however a bit gray in comparison with the picture, but it may be lightening effects. When I come to building mine someday, I will go with metallic turquoise.

Re: Murcielago SV in Verde Draco - I need your opinion

It's hard to say, looks decent enough, but also consider what else is in your collection.

I sprayed my 550 Maranello in Nissan Millenium Jade (the R34 M Spec Nür color). I regret that decision every time I see it
