    and how about a satin black, maybe another that covers the cladding as well!


    and something that looks like Rhino liner!
    Metallic is difficult to produce from a flat paint like proton...if I could get a donor photo of a foxfire in high daylight, I could shop a Sunset/Brazen orange, as well as any other metallic much easier and faster...though I don't use random people's photos without permission. Copyrights y'know, lol.

    I'll work on some of these concepts tomorrow evening, after my two miserable back-to-back finals first thing tomorrow morning...sucks, but at least spring term will finally be over. Pray for me! Gonna need all the help I can get!!!

    ...do you have an example photo you can show me, or a manufacturer paint name/code in mind? Trying to figure how a "forest green" is different from dragon green.

    Though I can't take credit for it, it was painted when I bought it. It does match the seats perfectly IMHO, that picture has bad light though. I've got a couple others in my gallery. Not sure what the paint is, but I've noticed ford escapes with the same/very similar color, might even be a little brighter. I really like the green at the bottom of the brochure posted above, plus if you match the seats I think green seats would be really cool.
    Love this color too! Orange rocks!!!

    Pretty sure that uploading pics into galleries here automatically makes them public domain. Regardless, I think Sue and I have some 500 or more photos between our two galleries so surely there's one in there that will work?

    Good luck with finals!

    I think you're wrong but I'm not a lawyer, please check with one.
