The green is not so gray, look at the surly website. It looks darker there, the photos from interbike so far are over lit/ over exposed photos of the bike, the blue velvet looks so different in the photos when it came out then what I have now.

Normally shops will charge more to remove power coat, because it's more durable(its harder to remove)

I actually like the looks of the bike as a whole. It looks very clean, but I did just see the rear disc brake cable running on the top side of the down tube. This might not be the final product; Surly hasn't posted official photos on there sites. I figure there are some little changes they might do. The non-drive side seat stay has the spoke holder; I figured they would do that. With the Disc Trucker, it looks like it will be easier to mount fenders on. My brakes got in the way when I first put my fenders on, do to to the cables.
