Here's my [159] grey Levin, before and after respray.

The original paintwork was pretty bad when it arrived from Japan. There were at least 3 different shades of grey, where it had been resprayed in different areas. The bonnet and roof were particularly bad. They looked like someone had started stripping them back again.

I tried to find a decent colour match for 159, and the nearest I could find was at my local Brown Brothers. But I wasn't really happy with the match, and thought that it was a little bit on the blue-ish side, so gave it a miss.

In the end I resprayed the whole car, panel by panel, with aerosols.
I used Carplan Color Match [YAF151] Grey Metallic [Silver 06] for the top coat. I wouldn't use metallic again - but that's another story.
