My painting project is done. Up close you can tell that it was the first car I ever painted, it’s far from perfect. But I did learn a lot. Like if you’re going to spend $400 for a gallon of paint, don’t use a $80 house paint sprayer to spray it on. Like over spray gets e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e.
But I’m happy with it, I really like the color I picked, and unless you’re up close it looks pretty good. And although it’s no longer green, I think I’m going to keep the name “Big Green”. Mainly because “Big Brown” conjures up bad connotations. Although my niece did have a brown car she called “The Poo” and I always thought that was cool.
Anyway, here it is, before and after.
And just in case you didn’t believe it was the same car…

Ah, I'll miss the green. Maybe you should rename it something brown positive. Like "Devil's Food" or some other chocolate reference --- although many of them sound too feminine, like "Chocolate Chip" or "Cocoa Puff." Uh, no. Those wouldn't do.
Well, if it's green and brown, maybe a tree reference would do the trick. But all I can think of are Ent names from Tolkien.
Sigh.
Never mind.
My friend from long ago had a horrid brown Pinto she called The Antichrist -- because it was just that bad.
