Temporarily installed. Works beautifully. And it has almost all of the original 1940s tank hardware.

Whooooo Hooooo!

If I can find a paint that matches well enough, I will.

Ironically, I'm a professional painter. I'd be happiest if I could find a stock color that matches, so I don't have to worry about variations if I have to buy more paint for touch up.

What can I say? I make decisions about paint all day long at work. I want things to be easy for my personal projects.

OOOO, look at that, what a spiffy Biffy, even has arm rests for those long contemplative moments. It'll look great, with the tiles done up it'll look fantastic.

I would get the tub back to original white finish and add a green matching fancy shower curtain to tie it in. But right now it looks like I have your matching tub.

I have white fixtures and green tub, maybe we should trade! (kidding)
