    Scotts colour is the best ives seen on an early bumper, upol is a better match for later bumpers.

    Best bit is that the opel badge has clearly evident overspray on the rear and its grey plastic under it

    I believe mine are rover storm grey (not hurricane) and there was a percentage of matting agents added to the paint as it was a gloss finish, the guy who did the bumpers best remember how much it was for other parts I plan to paint
