Ok people's.
Gotta another colour question.
This is Dads LC Torana he bought brand new back in the early 70's.
It's doesn't look dark enough for burnished bronze metallic Torana but looks too dark for Daytona Bronze.
The photo is the original photo and I know the colour could be off a bit because of that.
It also had Black seats and I can't find a picture of a car painted in burnished bronze metallic that had black seats, but I am guessing they Came in black or white?
Any thoughts of which colour it could be?

That was suggested, but I can't find any pictures of Toranas in that colour. I guess it wasn't that common.
I will keep searching.

Thanks

Hi

 

When the white balance is corrected - it looks more like Burnished Bronze Met.

 

Cheers

I like what you have done Bazza.
I have showed mum some picture of Toranas in that colour and she thought it looked right, but this photo made me think it may not be that colour.
Thanks for clearing that up.
