Bonjour Don,

Your idea is very good,
but you should add to your samples a universal color ref as 'RAL' or
'PENTONE'.
Because of differences between graphics palette of computers (and
printers) this reference
could be a good complement information.

I have to repaint my Serie V too, original color code 86, it's body is
actualy nude
and waiting for coachbuilder (is good word ?) work. I hasitate between
repaint with
original color or 'midnight bleue' like Ted Reese very nice serie V (saw
on SAOC page).

green paint
of my car.

Amicalement,

Fred, from LYON.
