my pictures dont do paint justice , theres so much metalic in it . it changes color like crazy from a mint green to a lime green to a yellow green

I have actually posted this "green bike" response in the past, but here goes again. Now my info comes for the most reliable source.... a psychic!!!

First, the green bike myth is two parts. The first part was discussed already in that back in WWII soldiers were getting killed on motorcycles and since all Army motorcycles in the service were green, take from it what you will that green is an unlucky color. The second part is that green bikes are only unlucky to second or subsequent owners. The myth is told that if you buy a brand new motorcycle that is green from the factory, or paint a bike green yourself, it is actually considered a lucky color. More lucky than other colors. But if you buy a used green bike it is considered unlucky. So take that as you will, its all I got.

excellent thank you sonnydaze but just like you said the pic here does not do the color justice. this is the pic i had to go on before i seen the car. what do you think based on what you have seen? is the synergy color a tri coat
