Good evening and welcome.

I think Pabloss is a good person to ask on this subject since his 147GTA sounds like its the same colour and he's got excellent knowledge in this subject area, and owns a paint shop. I'll direct him to this thread.

Heres his all nice and shiny the other week, 13th post down. Does this look to be the same colour? http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/poll-...8-gta-8-a.html (AO Car of the Year 2008: GTA (8))

Thank you, for that, my car appears to be darker than that, although it could be the photo.
