I went past a local BMW dealer today and had a look at Brooklyn Grey cars - luckily they had one inside and one outside
It’s lighter than the ubiquitous ‘Nardo grey’ you see everywhere and has a very faint hint of blue to it - so it’s a shade darker than the original US Navy ‘U’ model grey, but pretty close in colour… and I actually like it being a touch darker.
So Brooklyn Grey it is.
I’ve got my painter booked for the end of the month
Just got to choose a tank logo design now. I’ll post an updated mock-up when I get around to it.
Brooklyn is darker and up close it's got a slight metallic texture and in the flesh looked really nice, Avalanche is lighter and more or a 'solid' old school finish, but I've not seen it in the flesh.
I think I like the more old-school 'enamel' finish of Avalanche... but is it too light?
