Schwinn Homegrown Bass Boat Green

History of the Homegrown Bass Boat Green paint job as told by former Schwinn employee Greg Powers: 

Speaking of bikes I wish I had, we painted one HG full suspension Kermit green with black darts and black rear triangle, then painted a Homegrown hard tail in canary yellow with bubble gum pink polka dots. We (meaning the tech service group and the factory paint shop) [had] no idea what D$ did with that one. Mine was a 96, had it done flat Kermit green, not bass boat, then the VP(Skip) who hated green bikes said "that doesn't look bad" and then Schwinn made green Homegrowns. You are welcome...  :-)
