I am reliably told that if you squint real hard it's almost identical to bronze green :p
I actually have to admit that I am really liking the finished colour though it may look a little out of place on the Landy. Oh well I won't ever lose her in a car park
great work going on, will keep an eye on this thread for more pics :)
cheers
As I'm about to turn 60 :( I remember the cool cars of the early 70's with this colour. The Charger the Torana XU1 and the HO so be proud you'll be in great company :) . It's great :D
i was recommended this colour by a workmate who is into classic cars, when i said i was looking for a nice metallic purple his first reaction was "Ford GT... Wild Violet" and then feverishly went searching for the paint code. i have to give him credit for his suggestion, its very nice.
Maybe when you drive past people will cry out "Heeeeeey Land Rover!!!!"Quote:
