    I'm wit da kid...two zip in the poll...

    The yellow/proton works because there is no "sparkle" in colours like white, yellow, black, etc.
    The tonal differences of a metalflake type paint (foxfire, dragon, astral, etc.), which are dependent on lighting, could make even a good match look bad in certain lighting conditions...my two cents worth.

    Good point, metallic flakes could definitely cause a problem. I definitely think it wise to order a color swatch and compare it in multiple lighting conditions as you suggested.

    Also the proton swatch

    from Okole is really close it is more of a light and reflection difference than color

    So this thread gets 72 hits but only 4 votes?!? Come on now, it's hard to get a group opinion with only 4 votes (not to mention we're tied 2-2 right now).

    I vote black/gray unless after getting the swatch you verify the colors match almost or totally perfect.

    I don't think much of us would drop a vote right now.
    Does any one want to be guilty if VT_maverick doen't like the outcome ?.
    I personally will look for covers that match more the interior (in your case gray/black) than the exterior.
    If you go for the wine/black covers which i feel more inclined for you should think about how would them look with the door panels. You'll have to actually paint the panels to match 100% the covers if you are very concern about it
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Voting here is like having sex with a date who may have had an extra glass of wine. She may regret it later but you have fun

    No worries, I'm not weak minded enough to fall for your Jedi mind tricks. Just looking for additional points that I may not have thought of. (We're tied 5-5 again btw)

    I'll try to order color swatches today and take pics of them against the paint for you guys to see. Stay tuned...
