Hry Deejay,
I have ran into a couple of speed bumps with other stuff so I have a little bit of time now to decide on colour. I don't mind the Septone - hammer green you have found!. I'll take that over the Jade Green from Galmet at this stage..
I have considered a solid colour though the surface prep with a solid colour has to be A1. Not saying mine won't though a tiny dent or scratch in the steel such as on the exterior of the chain cover will stand out with a solid colour.
A Hammertone finish will be a little more forgiving i think..
Cheers again for the heads up on Septone Green though!!
Craig.
