I used a Volvo colour, its very close to gelled std bumpers. Bar its metallic.

There are quite a few Toyota colours that are almost bang on.

[dj_wudgey]

[Edd]

another vote for u-pol stuff

I've done a few bits in the engine bay of my nova with it and im pleased with the results

[dj_wudgey]

Rover Hurricane Grey is one used often but it needs to be laquered. Mid-grey (IIRC U-Pol) is a very good matt looking standard colour.

Yeh i have noticed this on the volvo, but it came out pretty good, cause i used the rattle can, also didnt have access to a compressor at the time, here is a closer view

Iam the same, not to keen on it being so shiney, its not to noticable when the fron one is covered in bumper gell thou, so probebly going to re do the bumpers in the u-pol spray paint when the car is finished.
