Depends if you want it to look original or not.

true about your opinion right,
my thoughts are that astroid silver only suits if you paint the complete bottom half of the car and mx grey only suits for painting the moulds and bars.
mx is to dark to paint the complete bottom and astroid just on moulds and bars looks cheap and nasty like a can job

Many thanx especially to the young apprentice, [vl berlina 5 speed]you took the time to check this out for me. This old bloke certainly appreciates your help. I'll probably go the MX as the wagon is the light metallic green [faded] and I just want to clean up the scuff marks on the plastics. John.
