But I gotta say, Nightshade and Springmist are both unusual greens and in ways that really appeal to me. First time I met Jim Mattison in person was at the Kansas City POCI, about 89, 90? He had that RA I in Springmist there that year. Might have been his first Firebird resto..

I caught a couple of print photos of it that are buried somewhere, but the background was the stand of trees at the car show site. The green foliage dominated the green on the car making it appear as a light silver on the prints. I wish I'd caught some photos with a different background to show off the delicate hint of green in that paint. It was beautiful.
Its only proper to fill in the gaps.
When Jim got that car it was resale red, he said it could have been shown as red,it was that nice of a repaint,but he chose to "correct" it.Tip of the hat Jim.
