What colour is my '90 90q20v?

[john clarke]

Well, I'll have another look.  I've never seen the hint of a swirl, lint,
dirt, orange peel etc..  One thing that I look at is the rear bumper, where
sanblasting from the rear tires has gone down to the plastic....only one
colour layer.  If they changed the upper colour they took off the vin plate,
upper and lower door mouldings, door strikers, handles, moonroof
weatherstripping, sticker in the fuel flap, trunk spoiler, struggled with
the weatherstripping chaulk around the taillights, removed the bumpers and
painted behind them, inside the lips of the front fenders are OE looking---I
could go on and on.  Why would they not try to match the paint anyway?  It's
not even close, other than both being grey.  I can send you a pic if you
like.
