photo probably doesnt do it too much credit, but its meant to be cumulus grey - trouble is though its more like the colour of baileys irish cream?

does that sound right ?

colour is mixed by a trusted and professional source - but just doesn't seem to be Grey?

must admit - got the colour code from researching elfs and hornets - I wanted an old skool colour, but something a bit more rare.

Blue nun is getting the treatment, and I'm aiming towards old skool colour, and loads of chrome, 13 inch superlights will have colour coded centres, rear sections of spotlights colour coded, and sportspak arches colour coded.

white roof, and If the lad I work with gets his way 2 tone offset rallye stripe in shades of grey.

I'm going to try and photoshop it over the weekend.

this was the other colour I had in mind but cant get a reference for it anywhere..............

I think my Elf may be that colour. it's not it's original colour but I think it brightens up the look of it as opposed to the original grey...
