Anything looks better than Starlight Primertallic, even Monogram RAF Jumper Blue

Gulf stream is one of the colours I can't really make my mind up if I like it or not. But there again I've never seen it in the flesh so I'll reserve judgement.

I do feed the need for one of the more extreme monograms one day though.

Dark Fantasy is one of those colours that is beautiful in the flesh, suits a ZT not so sure what it would look like on a 75.

Strangely Firefrost looks much superior on a 75 to a ZT, I think it's the chrome highlights, when you have the two parked side by side the ZT looks much darker for some reason

In any event, these cars suit darker colours full stop, must be something about polishing them, and gaining the lustre that the light colours lack.

I’d go for a supertallic, cheaper on the pocket than a flip monogram and easier to repair should you have a scratch.

Lots of colours to choose from.

How about this colour combo

Suddenly my car got a duotone paintjob in what looks to be Pewter grey with old English white



Proof that God himself likes duotone 75's. Given a chance He creates them

BRG pearlescent and the chrome trim areas are a perfect match together.----

The chrome is lost on some of the lighter colours.

Default Green duotone

Regarding the car mentioned much earlier in the thread, I'm very pleased to say that I'm the new owner. I believe I'm right in saying that the colours are Le Mans Green over Arden Green; the paint code on the plaque is HEW and the trim RKK. Warning: as soon as I have cleaned and polished it, I'll probably post lots of pics!
