I REALLY like Lime Green!!!

[trodery]

Since my internet was down here at the house for several days I didn't have anything to do to keep me occupied so I got out in my shop (3rd car garage) and did a little painting and organizing.

My built in cabinets were a dull grey color so I went to Lowe"s and had them mix me up some paint that matches my Matco toolbox.

Yeah, I know, not everyone like lime green but I do!

BEFORE....

AFTER....

Is your jk rescue green?

 

[Strouty]

I like it, it goes well with the darker handles. It was time well spent!

 

[PECVD2]

Wow. I like it. Mixes well with the grey. What brand of cabinets are those? What about the two black cabinets under the other bench?

I think it looks fine. But those daqrk grey metal cabinets on the left side are crying out to be the same green. Maybe some more dark gray pegboard above to match the look side-to-side, though it MAY makethe room a bit darker. You can make up for that with some extra feature lighting.

As a matter of fact it is!

My 04 TJ I sold last year was "Electric Lime Green Pearl"

The new Jeep...

I don't know what brand those grey cabinets are, when I bought the house they were already there. The black cabinets are just some lateral file cabinets that I bought used and painted black.

Yeah, I was trying to keep it a bit bright and I thought more lime green might just take it over the edge!

Nice jeeps, the garage looks good too.

[madstat]

Now if only my internet would go out so I can get off my *** and be productive instead of looking at this forum. I hate lime green but I have to say it looks nice and clean.

I actually like the color. Is it regular latex paint?

It's not "olsen" or "12 guage" green, but I really like it!

 

[c/o say]

I have thought about painting the walls in my shop a lime green or a pea green. But I need to finish putting up osb first.

 

[bww_mnm]

LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought about lime in my garage but just couldnt decide whether it would look good....now I know.....excuse me while I go to Lowes.

Nice Jeeps too by the way.

 

[dlenkewich]

Looks great.

 

[bazzateer]

Get the other cabinets done and it'll look great.

 

[Falcon67]

I was thinking this was a Mopar thread. Nice color pick!

 

[Jack Olsen]

I like it. I think there's been research done on that color being hard for the human eye to ignore -- which has led to some safety applications.

 

[MyKingdom]

Looks Good....., another job well done.

 

[robsled]

You need this to go in it.......(4 sale)

 

[Scout Driver]

Looks great. Really brightened up the garage.
