No biggie, i have recently decided that when my Ruby finishes it's conversion to a Columbia type it will have the name Suzy and be dark Nave blue. Perhaps with Forest green trim as a concession to it's namesake. {:) One question though... What is so special about a 'Russian Iron' paint job? Is it just another color/texture variation or is there something special involved with it's production? I've seen other references to it but until recently I didn't even know it was a paint finish.
