Been seeing a few Marin splatter frames on the site and want to find out a bit more about them.
I've seen white, yellow and green based Eldridge frames (I'm interested in the Eldridge in particular).

These all have similar groupsets/decals etc so are they the same year or a few years apart? The '91 catalogue shows the yellow Eldridge - so what years are the others?
Reason for the question - I have a '91 Zolatone Eldridge, stripped back to bare metal waiting for renovation......and I'm really tempted to have a go at replicating a splatter paint job.
Might be a bit of a crazy thing to attempt but I like a challenge.
Anyone know how they achieved these paint schemes in production?
