A customer has specified this colour which matches that of the original Aston Martin DBR1 in RAL 7038 rather well.  |

I definitely prefer the grey chassis to the black one but much like photo,s of the external paint finish on the five original DBR1's it all depends on the light and angle photos are taken. Maybe that's why it's so hard to match that version of Aston Martins racing green. If you Look at some of the pics of James' "DeBoRah" chassis, the grey of that one changes from one pic to the next. This one looks great too but unless someone has inside knowledge with that RAL colour code would need to see some of these new Replicar builds up close with an original DBR1, can anyone arrange that..........Stuart?

I got the Arizona chassis powder coated in light grey by a local company in Wales, looks good but shows marks easily, found a spray can with a pretty good match at Walmart, useful for touch ups and colouring extra chassis parts.

Light grey is easier to mark up for drilling and cutting too!

Which chassis number is that Stuart? It looks like the colour i spec'd and picking up the comment about the original colours varying i simply wanted to try and match a picture i had (but as we all know picture colour can vary so not foolproof).
As for main body AST1140 is the colour for me, still not sure about yellow lipstick as opinion in the household is divided, daughter and i think yes, wife and son think no (head of household has casting vote so i just need to change her mind).
I am looking to have wine/red seats with the same colour on the transmission tunnel. Alloy floor pans with timber footrest in passenger side (subject to routing of side exhaust).
I am going off piste with the grill (I just don't like the original) and have come up with what i think is a cunning plan for the petrol filler but don't want to show my hand just yet in case it doesn't work.

Good idea on the lipstick will give it a go.
