A shade of grey - knowing the exact shade is a perpetual exercise in futility.

I used a duplicolor paint also but could not bring myself to put something on a chevy that said it was a f--d color. I drive a f==d but just couldn't do it.

Keith,

What are you basing the "to dark" comment on, personal preference or documintation?

What documintation are you using to say that "1611 paint the color is almost perfect"?
