Thanks Rich, that means a lot coming from you, I've always thought your cars were as close to perfection as you could get.

14th of May in 1952 seat material discontinued in glove boxes. There was alternatively gray and brown card board. My JuneŽ52 Pastel green has original brown color card board.

Very nice, indeed you have done a good job. This is again something splitting what ever, but your bumper guards are -51 model

I just had some mixed and used an original paint emergency brake lever as a sample. RAL 1019 Grau Beige appears to be exactly the same.

Export split has two different color tones for seat frames (and other inner parts) depending the car color. Beige and brown.

This is RAL 1019 Graubeige = Grey Beige (pending your monitor settings). Is this the beige or the brown you are referring to Mika?

Hard to say, maybe there were more tones. My pastell green split's seat brown color was near RAL 8025, just mixed a drop of base white.

Color sample taken UNDER gear stick bracket.
