    When we painted the '47 a few years back, we went to check on it and saw it being pushed out of the spray booth.
    I took one look and thought: "Oh my god! What have we done!"
    It was in-your-face yellow!
    But by the time the windows went back in, the bumpers, grille, and all the trim was back on it was toned down quite a bit, and after a while I started to like it too.

    Like you; this colour was She Who Must Be Obeyed's choice, and after all it is her car, so my opinion didn't even enter the equation.
    Just remember; 'happy wife = happy life!'

    I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head with this whole reply. Especially with " She who must be Obeyed " LMAO
