     All that for just the trim.  I have about enough of sanding, filling,
   primer and then sanding again.  Wouldnt it be fair to say just scuff it
   up and then give it a few coats of flat black?

      If you want to take a look at the color it is in EC in the Oct 93
    issue.  The artice is titled "Kermit the Rabbit".  This green is
    lighter than the green I have seen on 914's, it is also kinda neon.
    Put it this way, when you drive down the street it will most certainly
    catch your eye, unlike most paints out there  =)
