color is always only just a matter of taste, i've seeen and painted many colors i haven't liked and many have grown on me after the job is done..
this car i was sorta not wanting the greens either, but he stuck with them and i believe it is the one of the best choices he could have made on the car, i'm really digging it going along with some of his other plans.. stay tuned.
