Hello Patrick,
I have been following this thread for a while. As for paint, I would spare no expense on the prep, and materials to do your machine right. You have come this far, kill the paint job.
As far as color, I usually like staying original on old classic machines. To me, the benchmark for tablesaw restores would be Jack Forsburg’s Wadkin PK. Gun Metal/graphite, red accents and lots of polished metal. Like you, I love green. My Northfield HD 16 jointer is my fav green. However, not a huge fan of the original Martin green.
Since you like motorcycles with custom paint...... thought you might like my BigDog Mastiff with custom candy red paint and LOTS of chrome��
