![]() Gulf stream is one of the colours I can't really make my mind up if I like it or not. But there again I've never seen it in the flesh so I'll reserve judgement.
I do feed the need for one of the more extreme monograms one day though. ![]()

Strangely Firefrost looks much superior on a 75 to a ZT, I think it's the chrome highlights, when you have the two parked side by side the ZT looks much darker for some reason ![]() In any event, these cars suit darker colours full stop, must be something about polishing them, and gaining the lustre that the light colours lack.

![]() I’d go for a supertallic, cheaper on the pocket than a flip monogram and easier to repair should you have a scratch.
Lots of colours to choose from.

![]() How about this colour combo
![]() Suddenly my car got a duotone paintjob in what looks to be Pewter grey with old English white ![]() ![]() Proof that God himself likes duotone 75's. Given a chance He creates them ![]()

![]() BRG pearlescent and the chrome trim areas are a perfect match together.----
![]() The chrome is lost on some of the lighter colours. |

![]() Regarding the car mentioned much earlier in the thread, I'm very pleased to say that I'm the new owner. I believe I'm right in saying that the colours are Le Mans Green over Arden Green; the paint code on the plaque is HEW and the trim RKK. Warning: as soon as I have cleaned and polished it, I'll probably post lots of pics!
