So here i am, pondering over the vast number of colors to put on a bug. Has anybody seen one in john deere green? Maybe with yellow spoked wheels & a tractor flapper on the stinger? If anybody's got pics or opinions let me see/hear em!

Here in farm country I think someone has painted everthing in existence that color at some point.Most things look good actually.Can't say I've even seen a bug tho.

there used to be a guy in the ghia forum that has a john deere colored ghia.... you might check the ghia coupe photo gallery.

but i think it would be kinda bugly... :lol:

I have seen the JD green variation on a bunch of stuff. The trick is, you HAVE to run actual John deer decals on it. Or, you just come off looking like some yoke that has no taste in color.

i'm thinking of some kind of john deere spin off, but if nothing good comes to mind i'll just pick up some JD decals

"We wanna paint 'er JD green 'cause we had some leftover in the paintgun from paintin' the tractor..."

I say go for it - it's up to the individual's preference... of course, you could end up finding yourself to be quite 'individual', as others may not associate w/ you & your JD buggy #-o

:? well... my girl hated the idea. I asked her and she gave me that stare all us guys hate... "my boyfriend is an idiot"* It was then I realized that JD green wouldn't be my bajas color. But thats arite, thers many other colors out there & I wasn't really decided on that one.

*I've seen this many times before, granted sometimes the word boyfriend is replaced with 'son' or ' friend' or 'brother' or 'uncle' or... well, you get the idea. :roll:

Reminds me back in college... the prof in art class said GREEN AND YELLOW never mix... ever ever ever... I"m failing anyone that puts them together.

Since this topic has been revived...I'll ask an obvious question that comes to mind.....isn't the bug in your avatar photo JD Green? It looks about the same color as my JD Tractor. You can see from the avatar photo that it looks...ah...ah...great..on a bug.

Yea, The bug in the avatar isnt much different than JD green?

Actually, i'd say thats closer to lime. JD is alot darker. But the John Deere decals might bee good on it.

JD has had sevral diff shades of green. I have a meyers towd. I met another that had just gotten one, I got it running for him. a few months later he called to ask if I wanted to buy it. He'd sell for a $1000. I about sh$$. This body was metalflake red it pretty fair shape, all there, fenders ,engine cover, bumpers,ect. So I jump and drive to his place (1 1/2 hr drive) He says ya I fixed it all up, I even painted it (WHAT ? ). It's around baack. He painted the damn thing this ugly ass john deere green. I told no deal you ruined the car. No way to get all that paint off with out screwing up the gel coat.
