    Pretty certain that the colour of the LB car is a RAL colour (I could be wrong!). Chris Smith's car is the 'original' Lancia colour but I've had a sample of that made up and it looks a bit washed out in bright lights. Ended up having a colour matched from a 1:18 scale Sunstar model I have which looks the most 'right' for the car, in my eyes. It's not til it's on the car that I'll know for sure, though - too difficult to tell from an A5 test card...!

    Yep, I've seen various pics of the original green and in some it looks very pale. Mind you green is a very difficult colour to photograph. I like the colour that Alfaholics used on their restoration, I contacted them and they said they couldn't remember what it was, it was just a colour the owner liked. I think that's their way of telling me they don't want to tell me!

    Anyway - apologies for the thread hijack.

    As you were.
