geniuses pick green  ;)

mine was white but it had red then blue under the white. so i think they might have had a slightly darker then sky blue unless mine was bare metaled before in its life then been painted again two times after that?

at the moment its a combination of undercoat Grey with sections of bare metal silver and rust red in patches... it also has a splash of ben fiberglass white. it will eventually be all nicely green once i find out why my arse clutch has me stuck in neutral.  :-[

about to buy a $1100 full gas kit from gra... hmmm maybe that is why i can afford the paint job... i keep spending on the motor...

greeeeeeeen

Mine was originally Slate Green and now its a lighter shade of green.
