Thanks Tim, but we already knew it was green. What Cliff is asking for is a color code or a picture. The engine is some shade of green now but needs some freshening up. We're wondering if it is the correct green so we can match it or if we need a different green.

Dang.... after checking lots of sites on the internet...... they all say Green! (but not the shade or color code)

I am going to assume that it is a dark hunter style green!


I will try and get in touch with Patrick this thursday... he might know!

It takes a long time to do these things with only every other weekend off! grin
