When I was a teenager I had a '72 Mercury that was a yellowish green color. I didn't care, but my mom hated looking at it so much she gave me a hundred bucks and told me to get it painted. A hundred bucks wasn't enough for a real paint job, but it was enough for Maaco to shoot it in Sherwin Williams dark grey primer. It looked pretty good and I drove it like that for about a year before I got tired of replacing oil pumps and junked it.
