I'm a little nervous to be honest, we won't loose it that's for sure.. My wife has loved this color for the pickup for about 2 yrs now so we thought might as well go with it. At the end of the day she's the one I sleep with

It's green. No doubt..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

When we painted the '47 a few years back, we went to check on it and saw it being pushed out of the spray booth.
I took one look and thought: "Oh my god! What have we done!"
It was in-your-face yellow!
But by the time the windows went back in, the bumpers, grille, and all the trim was back on it was toned down quite a bit, and after a while I started to like it too.
Like you; this colour was She Who Must Be Obeyed's choice, and after all it is her car, so my opinion didn't even enter the equation.

I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head with this whole reply. Especially with " She who must be Obeyed " LMAO

I like that green a lot and seeing it brought back memories of a station wagon I did panel work on for my Step Father and Mum when I was a first year apprentice panelbeater. Once I had removed all the rust and got it looking straight Dad and Mum had it painted candy apple green with a white roof, man, was it bright but with the chrome trim etc. it looked surprisingly good. So I will look forward to seeing this all finished out in the sun as I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised with the finish too.I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

I think it is very close to candy apple green, only without the metalic. I think I'll like it.

I don't mind the color one bit.....................but you do realize you're going to have to endure an endless stream of Kermit references don't you?Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
