Lime Gold is one of the colors I think look better with white stripes.

Being fresh and polished is a game changer.

Yes,  Mom always called it avacado.  I guess they were ahead of their time given that everything nowadays has guacamole or avacados on it.  I still cant bring myself to eat "guac" (looks too much like ground up grasshoppers).

Not because I'm Irish...... but I think it is probably the most underrated color ......

its like the Rodney Dangerfield of Colors, "it just get no respect", but it was extremely popular back in the day and still think it looks good

In the current two step with clear coat it's actually a very strikingly nice color. The clear coat makes the metallic come alive vs. the original flat look.

I like looking at it but would not want to own that color.
