Paint colour codes

[Mike Costigan]

Lance, I also think that a small panel of colour will often look darker than the same colour when applied to a complete car, especially when it is contrasted with black wings. Many years ago I repainted my 1927 Austin Windsor; I chose Triumph Gunmetal as being a nice dark grey, but the finished car was much paler and brighter than I anticipated. All turned out well in the end, everyone complimented me on achieving an authentic colour!
