Okay, I now know what it is to be "chuffed." The only way I could be more chuffed is if the thing was ready to drive. I think we picked a good color for what I was going for, in between Poseidon and Triton. The painter said that I should see it out in the sun. He said it was "bitchin." It still needs another coat or two of clear and then it'll need to be rubbed out. I'm dying to get back behind the wheel. We are supposed to have 80 and 90 degree days this week.

I'm not usually a fan of flared arches, but I really like your car, especially in that new colour, looks fantastic!!

That is a very cool green. There is NOTHING like a new paint job.
