Awesome... Loving the grey on the DC... Was thinking of redoing my SC in the same colour


What did you use to bring the colour up on the notch?

Klau, mate really consider it. The colour is Wattyl ‘mouse grey’ 2 pack. Mouse grey was a colour on the ‘current’ Wattyl automotive colour card in 2005. It looks stunning both in the shade out even better out in the sun :!:

The paint was very bady faded... it had gone all chalky. Even the soap at the car was went pink... looked cool actually. I used a mild Meguiars cutting compond polish... then the secound coat was their liquid high gloss polish... always used them. Great stuff :hangloose:

Mate the BRM's are gone... all shiney now. I got rid of all the black... only the interior is left... I'm thinking of blood red interior... its a really deep old skool red, worn look (not bright).

Great thanks have some in my cupboard... Good products... Have the same problem with my camper - every time I wash her the soap turns pink :)

Really like it all, especially the beer coolers... I was thinking to myself as I scrolled down, "Bet those BRMs show up on the Notch..." No?

Different PCD? Can't see it clearly. My 67 has the wide 5 pcd. Gill drives her bus in the rain with a towel draped over her shoulder...
