Why not just paint it grey? Nice work.

 Re: My new 2CV, running restoration. In theory..
Thanks guys, The colour seems to look different on every car I've seen it on, I think mainly due to them being older cars that will have been painted in cellulose paint which has faded over time. I received a litre of Vert Cactee this afternoon to paint the underside and check I like the colour, it looks exactly like the colour on this car which allegedly is also Vert Cactee. Looks totally different to me, but I still like it, and think it'll suit the 50's style I'm going for.

Don't forget that colour balance settings will play a part in the confusion: This car is myosotis blue: Attachment:
