I’d say go with the original plan. The olive is fucking sexy as hell, and that car will have a lot more going for it than just a green hue. ---

> [@layzie](#): > > i think the green and gold is too much like green and yellow, therefore a john deer symbol will need to be placed on the hood. That’s exactly what I was thinking. Without seeing the color in person, it reminds me too much of like… a really old booger. White is too ordinary for me. If I’m spending the money to repaint something, I’d want a color a little more memorable (without being memorable for being a booger car). Along the lines of the copper, you might consider also a brown/bronze? I’ve got the m5 sepang bronze, which I love and get compliments on all the time. ---
