One of our local owners had his Tiger repainted in what he said was an =
exact match to his original 86.  To my eye, it looks closer to the old =
military olive drab, than any nice green.  My original 86 green looked =
greener than that, but I just picked a nicer green out of the sample =
book and went with that.  Still happy with the results.
