Funny you should bring up custom colours Shaun sorry Sean, I was pondering last night in the garage of contemplation, why do you have to always chase the original factory colours when any colour repaint will look good and give that feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction? It can be anything you want it to be. Just see Peter Anderson's mass restorations of his Victa pets on YouTube. Beautiful art pieces using tough automotive paint and they do a service to the memory of the icons, original or no.
I have amassed a collection of paints now and I think it's about time I put down my coffee and got to painting up some spare "don't know what to do with" units and prepare to surprise myself.
I have seen an early 80s Mayfair painted light pink with reproduction decals fitted and it looked simply mad!
So time to get creative and let the heart choose for a change instead of a computer colour matching process trying to chase that elusive original shade!
Even close to original but not quite is a valid path.
