    Colour matching bull bar.

    I need to paint my newly acquired 2nd hand bull bar, has anyone found a paint that is close to Stornaway grey ?
    I could get the code and match it exactly but if there is something that is close enough pre-mixed i could give it a try.

    Just looked at a few google images.

    With the black wheel arches a black bull bar looks better (IMHO of course)

    I guess it comes down to if painted black will it look as good as fresh powder coat, otherwise painting over the silver it is now to match the colour sort of makes sense.
