There was a thread on this recently - and it seems there are almost as many Shades of Black as there are of Grey....... Does the car definitely still have the original paint finish? Cellulose paint can now pretty much only be sold for classic restoration - have a look on ebay.....verious suppliers on there.

Is the black paint the same as the RAL 9005?

If youre planning a total repaint theres no need to try and get its original black.As Roy suggested theres plenty of celly on Ebay.Buy a 5lt tin from Jawel-Paints £72.98 theyre an excellent company.They even sell celly ready to use from the tin,no mixing worries.

only one problem:
Jawel Doesn't post to Netherlands....
I bought a 5 liter "original" black here, but it is for sure not the black one I need.[frame]Image[/frame]
This is more a very dark brown.
