Drew, ONLY an old sample is going to be correct. the 'new' sample we got from glasurit on ceylon was a brown gold instead of an orange gold and didn't look anything like the one in deQ's pictures ... in any kind of light. most of the components in the new paints are different and therefore the formula is different and generally not the same ... especially with a complex color like turkis

Scott--I agree. That's why I'll choose the color I like best that can be made today. Ceylon is also a complex ,and very nice color. Weren't the Robots in Battlestar Galactica that color?

Drew, Colors are different today because the materials have changed including the tints needed to get the correct match. I will bet that back in the day every brand was a lot closer and Glasurit should give the best match.

Still into music as I see you are conducting behind your E9 in that image. Nice improv with the bottle of water as a baton!

Geeze Battlestar Galactica................how many of us get the reference? Also amazed that BMW didn't sue them like Chevy with the Beretta.
