    Kind of looks like either yellow chartreuse, then dipped in green chartreuse, or yel chart with a candy green. Double dips are easy enough to do but just make sure your not getting the coats of powder to thick. Makes curing a real pain!!

    Sort of looks like a version of green used in the triple threat john deere green grub which has to be one of my favorite grubs! Nice color!

    Is there any way you can post a bigger picture of it? It's so hard to tell what you have??

    So when you double dip those do you dip it once, then heat it back up and dip it again? or just heat it once and dip it twice?

    yes heated it once dipped it in chart. green, as soon as it melts go right into the other color it is a timing and heat related thing (may need to stick it near the flame quickly and then in the second color) then in the translucent green..then just stick it just above the flame to tighten the top coat up...I have a larger picture on my camera just need to find time to get it on here...the color is really interesting never stick it back directly in the flame it will burn the paint!
