The Bentley was storm grey whatever I would have much preferred they restored it to its original beautiful blue. As I have said before I cannot understand people liking cars of any generation in such dull IMHO negative depressing colours let alone god forbid black! However as always each to his own but despite how much I try to adopt a sympathetic view I cannot see it!

H, keep trying one day you may accept someone else's viewpoint. Miracles can happen.

Then please read my post - I said each to his own but it is not my cup of tea. Why such a reaction????????????????.Intolerance? just my opinion! BTW if it helps I like the coliour of your Stag!

Please read ...I said each to his own....OK some people seem to like these depressing colour schemes I happen to not. Will you accept my viewpoint?

Maybe that's the solution for the next car you buy. Valspar green, hand brushed, lovely.

I've got to say I'm with you on this. I never understood the appeal of Grey. I used to work for a car manufacturer and, unfortunately, they often used to have about three or four different shades of grey .

Black and, to a lesser extent, silver are a somewhat different matter to me. They can look classy but still wouldn't usually be my first choice.

However, as you say, each to their own.

Dont be ridiculous - Valspar was not available in 1920 nor is it today! Had I been around in 1920 I would have chosen to paint my Model T in a bright colour. TBH green apart from BRG is also fairly low on my preferred colours but as said - each to his own.

PS did repaint Wolseley 6/20 in 1964 with Red Valspar with final aerosol coat - looked quite good (cost me £50 sold it for £90 a few weeks after repaint!)

I quite like 'primer' grey too! Not quite sure it has the '70s chic that the Stag demands, but I saw a retro-mod TR4 in it and it looked great. I had the privilege of ordering a brand new BMW 5 series a few years back. The colour- the closest thing that BMW did to panzer grey of course!

Yawn. (Not to you, Zippy)
