Default Show me your green!!

Going to powder my Street Bob in od green, and I'm torn if I should do a denim od green, satin, or gloss, so does anyone on here have an od green bike? I looked on google images and seems very hard to find.

There was a guy on here selling an od green 48 a few months ago so search the motorcycle for sale threads.

Hmm, thanks for the link, right shade of green, but I'm not liking that gloss, just doesn't look right. Looks like I'll be sticking more with a matte od green.

OD is usually flat, not glossy.

Default Hi

OD = Olive Drab

So, by definition it's a flat color

and it wouldn't look good glossed up

Agreed on either flat or denim, trying to find examples of both on a bike however, is hard as shiite! I found a few examples on google, but it doesn't really seem to be a popular paint choice, but at least I'll know mine will stand out from the 100000 blacked out Harley's in my area.

What do you mean?! Don't you know that bikers are supposed to be individualists? And to be a true individualist, you and your bike have to look EXACTLY like all the rest of the individualists.
