I thought it a green shade but know what you mean about the diff lighting. That is a beautiful color paint.
What will the interior color be?
In El Paso, Texas the locals would often paint outside on a hot day after wetting the drive/parking area. These guys were good and experienced at having little to work with. I couldn't believe some of the quality paint jobs done like that.
It looks like your preperation paid off.

Thanks,
The interior will be new tan with dark tan carpet. The hardtop will have an off-white liner.

I once painted a TR4 in my back yard in the open when living in Huntington Beach California. Started early in the day before the wind came up. It came out great. It can be done.

Beautiful work, Ray - that bay is better than my exterior paint!
