Orange or green

[Frank from Quebec]

Good day Laverdistis of the world.
Those who have read my other threads know that I am redoing a 79 Mirage which was originally metallic green.
It has been painted a pearly orange witch looks more like peach in the sunlight by the previous owner.
My first plan was to paint it back the original green but I get more and more people tell me I should do it Laverda orange...
What do people who enjoy Laverdas think ?
My hot-rod/speed boat painter will easily match either color.

Green. Greengreengreengreengreen. Not orange. Green.

Orange is just SOOO overdone.  It should be green.

Green.........

Original colour is usually best.
Green, assuming Mirage green, is not only more appropriate for the 1200 but a pretty cool colour.

How about neither.

If you are thinking of selling it you will get more for an orange one

Green. Greengreengreengreengreen. Not orange. Green.

You'd expect that from someone called Lime

BTW, I aggree with Mr Lime. My bike was originally green but the PO painted it orange. If I ever get it painted again, I'll go back to green.

Cheers,
Cam

Anything but the colour that dares not mention its name.
