I assumed (and still assume) that D&D was doing the painting on
both bikes, but never thought to ask specifically. Nearly as I can
tell Rick has performed multiple iterations of that persimmony color,
each one slightly different, but all sharp (see Trophy of Texas, and
Dave's AHH on Riv's staff bike page). This lime gold metal may also be
one of those "each batch is a little different" paint jobs.
