Default True Grey Primer -JLR






Much prefer my X Power LEF Grey aka "disappointing grey " to this JLR grey - now that is Primer. Have noticed both new Beemers and Audi's in a similar primer grey - the worst was a greyish white BMW - looked unfinished .

I'm glad it's not just me that thinks it looks wrong!


As for the primer....just plain laziness not putting a top coat on it!
