    Hi hoobatech, I think you picked a better colour than what it was!! I need to paint mine also but, I'm in that too cold/non-heated garage problem.

    Nice hoobatech, Ya must have the same taste as me cos that's the colour I painted my XJ a four months ago. Much better than the original.

    Must post a pic of mine all painted.
