Something like this, back way up from your monitor and squint your eyes... Anyone out there with actual skill please jump in and doctor one up, this is just to give an abstract sense of what I'm talking about...

As for actually doing it I'm undecided, just debating for a winter project, I've received more don't than do pm's though so far... My farkle list is done as of now...

I am not terribly fond of the look, myself.

Now, if you were to somehow get some fancy airbrush stuff going with the color.... fading into it in a few select places, that might work really well.

Yes.  And yes, it was interesting.  Deep, emerald, metalic green.  "A wee bit of the Irish" :)

I was thinking it looked more like "British Racing Green".

Although the original BRG was based on "Shamrock Green". You can get the history at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_racing_green

Either way, I think it looks great.

Yes, that is the one we were talking about :)  I called it "metalic emerald" 'cause that is what it looks like to me.  Very sparkly.  It was on another thread when they were talking about those strange side air deflectors.

I'd like a Kawa Green from my C14.  I've considered having a new set of Tupperware painted Kawa Green and installing it.  The price to buy the new Tupperware and then have it painted would be  .... ahhhhh .... considerable. 

Therefore, I'm running my dark blue C14.   ;)
