    pics of anthracite bumpers please

    as title, ive decided to paint my gsi bumpers on my nova anthracite/dark metalic grey.

    the only thing im worried about is not getting the right shade, i.e i dont want them too light and i dont want them too dark that they almost look black.

    if anyone could post up any pictures of there bumpers with the colour shade that would be a great help.

    O. Paint them red.

    Can your body shop not find the colour on a colour chip?

    ive been told its a general motors colour called quasar blue, tried looking at paint chips for G.M cars but bugger all luck. even checked other manfacturers paint colours

    i want to have the car ready for this years P.V but with the bumpers that are on it miles out of colour it really pisses me off, the paint on them aint even that good a finnish

    not at all, im just going for the easy option due to the paint shade and shoddy job thats on my existing bumpers, plus the kingdom bigmouth bumper thats on it is too low and scrapes everything, decided to keep it plain, simple and original looking now
