Yeh, that's the one Devilrod.

Was wondering if the clear coat would make a difference to the color or the way it ages or 'wears'

This is the way I'm thinking about doing it........

Haven't done too much since the last post.
A few finishing touches on the passenger's side sill replacement.
Got a sample of the Satellite Yellow for the top half of the car and painted the ash tray to see how it looks.......

I think the bloke on the welder was drunk when he built this bonnet.
Look at the angle at the base of the latch support and the angle of the left bump stop thingy :shock:

Grecian white and Satellite yellow were an original FB pairing I think.
I had just never seen these colors together, apart from photos.
