Guys,

I know you all have opinions, here is your chance to voice them and I will really listen.
I need you to help me pick the bottom paint color and boot stripe for my Zip. I have been giving myself a headache trying to decide.

Please go to this link and click on the color chart and suggest one of these two Blues for the bottom and one of these two Greens for the boot stripe.

"Norse Blue" OR "North Sea"?

"Green Grass" OR "Ultra Green"?

Thanks for your suggestions.

Jeez, don't you know ANYTHING?

Trust me on this one. Do not ask US, ask Heather. Whatever She wants will be just fine with the rest of us. Isn't that right Bill Edmondson.

Dave's right. The correct answer is "Yes Dear"! :wink:

I like the North Sea and Ultra Green.

But, you're the one that lives with her!

Pilot,

The two gentlemen :wink: are correct. Better words of wisdom have never been spoken. Play your cards right and she might even let you ride in the boat you unknowingly built for her. :lol:

Heather's veto Trumps us all. She wants brighter colors so its Norse Blue and Leapfrog. I was on board with you guys but the Norse Blue and Leapfrog are on order.
Along with the 664 primer the tech guy at SM suggested.
