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).

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...
