Great looking A2 and you did an outstanding job in restoring it! Tip of the hat to you!

I have looked at your MUTT on here several times, day after day, I keep coming back over here to look at it. "I think it is just fantastic looking" and seeing your's painted that color is great as a reference too. I am hopefully going to paint mine between now and maybe summertime, but I have yet to lean on any one color just yet.
Mine I think, looks like brown, but I don't know if I will keep it that color or change it. I am really leaning toward the 383 green (34094) from Home Depot, but its still early in the process for me, Your Mutt really stands out, "great Job"...

Awesome job very clean, I wish I would have powder coated those parts to, but I didn't know anyone at the time, instead I got clean shiny metal and sprayed with a hardened polyurethane sealer primer had it tinted forest green then sprayed with military Forrest green ( body) and flat Black( susp. parts ) respectively haven't had any rust issues so far and I live 3 miles from the gulf of Mexico. take care all

don't get me wrong I know powder coating is better :lol:
