my 29 AA had partial paint on the gastank but was faded to an almost aqua color so i had no idea what color it was - could have been faded rock moss, faded gunmetal blue, or homeade paint job...

amazingly under the exterior door handles there was perfect rockmoss green paint even though every square inch of the rest of it was rust and i got to see what non rubbed out factory paint looked like and the color. kinda orange peely but glossy at the same time.
