Crom Cruach Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 I couldn't match mulsanne blue, but I spent a long time with swatches walking around the original paint in the trunk and interior. The paint system is a Spanish brand called Besa. It looks a little more turquoise than it photographs but has a lovely metallic quality that changes in different light. removed parts painted first: before clear... after clear in daylight: indoors at night: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that color looks alot like mine, but i think mine should be alittle darker.. It’s really hard to tell from online photos Willie. In person I think there should be a tiny shade more purple, less green (turquoise), but when I compare my photos to google image search they are much closer in shade. Doesn’t matter though, I like it and I’m glad you guys gave it the nod of approval! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 That's all that really matters Paul is that you like it, but a lot of us like it too. Some of us are pretty partial to blue, we're called the blue crew and yes you are a part of it and yes Dennis so are you 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with it, just not my favorite. Sorry. Not a fan of green or gold either but I’ll have them too. The 70’s bathroom colors. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at it for 8 hours straight between tack cloth and last coat of clear. Really pleased with the result and the color. Just have to sand out a few creatures and dust nibs. Unavoidable for a diy job I think. Happy Halloween! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
