Thanks for the comments guys and , now I remember why I hadn't released it. I was going to remap the bird so it went up the underside of the struts. hehe, my hard drive was full so I converted it to game thinking it was done and put the files on a disk so I could delete off my hard drive to make room.
Yea I was trying to get a metallic look and got pretty close. If I remember I started with a light shade of green and used the laquer plug-in until I got something I liked. I still have 4 or 5 more Roms with the same paint scheme on my hard drive. I hope to get em out in between other projects.
