Yep I expected it to come out a lot lighter than it did, But I wasn't going to change once I'd started.
I actually really liked the colour when it was done but wasn't sure when I first started.

Have a look near the end of my build thread and there's loads more pictures to give you a better idea of colour.
It looks different colours in different lights. I've been told it looks green, brown and bronze. It is definitely not gun metal grey.
 
I just can't get my head round that it's the same colour looks completely different lol

I thought exactly the same as soon as I started painting. But I'd bought 5 litres of it so wasn't going back once Id started.

Oh and that blue looks good :)
 
Because im pressed for time and need to things to be simple as they can be, and because i want to get my bulkhead sprayed by someone that knows what there doing and will need a paint code, im going for landrover gun metal grey just need to find a paint code now anyone??
