Nice post, Just a question what color of paint are you going to put on her? O.E.M. or not

ive been asked that question too many times than i could count :lol:  haha, well as of now i love the ratty look, fits it great IMO, but if i did paint, i had a couple ideas, one being the dark flat green, fighter plane style i guess, some shade of dark purple, probably flat. and the original yellow. havent decided, it would look great either way,
