Hi all, I need to know if someone out there can help me with the correct colour for granite grey? Ihave stripped the car down and have noticed there seams to be a difference in shades of the grey, on the inner edge of the front doors where the dash meets the a pillar, the small tab that holds the windlace down is a darker shade than the dash and the rest of the car. Also while stripping the gard and glovebox lid I have come across the same darker grey. So wich is correct the lighter grey that the car has been resprayed with or the darker grey. clarification would be great so I can paint the car the correct colour.
Regards Jim

Was able to answer my own question!!!! When I pulled the front end off and took all the gear from the firewall I found the original paint under the wiper plate and also under the battery tray. The car has been painted in a softer shade of grey,which is a few shades lighter than original. So now all I have to do is get my 8 ltrs. retinted to match.
