It's pretty damn close. Found it by accident, it's a paint for metal called 'Mallard' (or something to do with ducks anyways, can't be arsed to go outside and look).

My bonnet was that light blue original colour & it has barely changed........'cept it's nice and shiny now!

Actually, a bit too shiny. Not used to seeing a motor of mine looking so spruce.

Jesus H ****ing christ. I've just got off my fat arse, walked to the end of the garden AND it's starting to rain.............Mallard it is. It's a B&Q gloss for metal. Thick as elephant spunk, but goes on a treat with a foam gloss roller.

Wun't be the first time I've been called that.


More fitting for Daft though, given the time he spends in his motor sat up to his bollocks in water.
