Nice, in those days those sorts of colours where very popular!
My father has a '74 original chrome bumper B which is now BRG but was originally orange.

Lovely neat work, great stuff! I like the rollover jig too  I can imagine the origional colour looking rather nice when fully restored and all the chrome in place! Bet it was repainted red to make it easier to sell though when this colour wasn't in vogue any more. |

I did exactly the same thing with my 67 midget so I know exactly how you feel with the "what on earth am I doing?" thought every now and then.
I think citron yellew is one of the better midget colours and I now regret not being brave enough with my colour choice.
Good luck and keep us posted.
