Touching up

I'm convinced Raleigh used a two step process to achieve the finish on Bronze Green bikes, maybe the coffee color too.
Blue and yellow make green. There are examples where the blue-green base coat is showing through a worn top coat. It could be that the top coat was an amber urethane, leading to the depth of the finish I love so thoroughly in the gorgeous bronze green.
