Is this green a lot different that the current dark green?  Hogsy, you got any new green ones to put this grill next to?

To me it looks like the older green, which is actually different than the newer green, when I had a newer one to compare. Looks like a smoother finish though...


Dude, relax your chicken.

Here's a C code 1981 22 next to a DA code 2001 18
 


And an N code 1991 SJ next to a DH code 2004 SJ

There is an obvious difference between the greens. With the earlier models (pre 2000) being much lighter. For the record I prefer the earlier green

great comparison.........I like the older one too.....


Some might call the lighter "Forrest Green" & the darker "Hunter Green"

Thanks for sharing these Hogsy! Makes me want an older green even more!


Buckie, I agree on the Forrest Green/Hunter Green comparison.

Green is good, but, I like the older green as well.

And I think the Captain would agree...
