Smashing stuff! The colour looks a metallic grey/bronze on screen, is that so?

Posted by: JULIANROBINSON - 14 January 2013 11:02:19
Its actually a Brown... but the light changes how it looks... from a distance it could almost be a stock colour... but up close it changes to almost a copper colour! [img]https://www.partsemporium.co.uk/vwovalpics/1956_vw_oval_beetle_project_sunshine.jpg[/img]

Posted by: Old Blue - 14 January 2013 11:07:30
I did think bronze as a colour, which is near to brown in metallic. Amazing finish!

Congratulations Julian! Very nice car, even if it's not stock :wink: :beer:

Posted by: Old Blue - 27 July 2013 15:36:01
Nice. Jon wants to do his oval to that standard. Trouble is his car has mostly original paint. Would be a shame to lose that I'd thought, or are trends changing again?
