    Default What colour grey for bumpers and lower half nova sr 1.4 mk 1 please help

    Hi all i have posted before about what grey to use for lower half of nova instead of vinyl , i went with hurricane grey and got bumpers etc done then ran out so got some more to do the sides of car and it was totally different shade to first batch luckily i tested it before putting on car. Long story short 3 different batches and different suppliers i can not get it to match the first batch so im going to re do bumpers etc again and buy plenty so its all done in same batch.
    What greys have you guys used other than hurricane grey .? Please help as this is the last job to do on the nova then i can mot it and use it . Any colour codes pictures etc will be much appreciated, im after a satin mat finish ,
