I think it's officially called "poo brown" according to the color chart...

Crazy but true.

I guess a properly aged turdburst finish is hard to find.

That would be a nice body with a nitro refin.  Looks like crap at present.  So I'm a curmudgeon...don't like beat up finishes, never have.

That look is fine for those who like them, more power to you, but I'm not in that group.  I refin'd my '63 P in 1972, and I can't say I regret it.  The finish was all chipped up, and I hated that.

Dang - didn't mean to kill the thread!!!!!!! Please continue....

It's Poo Brown. What else would it look like if not crap?
