Bumper colours

[fossit85]

Hi Guys, Need some help with the colour on my early SR bumpers. Upol mid grey is too blue-grey no sure that Rover hurricane grey is a close match either. seen scott parkers at billing and looked good but if you hold up a painted mirror cover to my front bumper it has more brown in it.

Mine are a brown grey, I'll see if I can dig out the paint code..

im on with painting my bumpers at the minute as well. alot of people say the upol mid grey is a very close match to original, thats what i was going to try.

saying that i had a tin of halfords light grey bumper paint, was a little bit to light. They also do a dark grey which i think would be worth trying to be honest mate.

let us know how you get on mate.

@ scott.parker (has that worked?) how come you went for a brownish colour? is that what the snow ploughs were like originally?

Early nova bumpers/plastics were that colour a brow/grey colour.

I dont think there was much consistency in the factory, below are 2 pictures I took for john of a opel grill badge and snowplough towing eye cover, both are brand new, neither has been stored in sunlight and at first glance they look the same,

The second picture however tells a different story,
