Took the last 3 days to get it done start to finish, and looks exactly like it did when my Dad brought it home in 77

I went with the factory Dark Jade green metallic, but the Wimbledon white turns yellow over time, so I went with a 2 stage enamel bright white, looks pretty close to factory.

I LOVE that green color. Good job, and congratulations! someday................... I will repaint mine. I discovered that what I thought was the original color actually was a two tone brown/white!

I think it looks fantastic. I agree with the selection of white, my Gramp's truck's white yellowed over the years.
