Title: Z266 vs Z20R - difference?
Post by: Diamond Black Geezer on 18 May 2015, 11:27:22

So... Looking at Diamond Black - Z266 and Sapphire Black - Z20R, how do these differ?

The issue being that, though not abundant, FL panels in Sapphire are available; whereas panels (in a state of no-rust) for a PFL, well, not much chance at all!

If I 're-door' my lady with FL panels I'm just wondering if it would be like putting a Z147 panel next to a Z157 - the colour difference would be there, but less noticeable. Also silver is notoriously hard to match, black must rank as surely the easiest to 'hide' and colour/shade differences. Has anyone has experience of side-to side comparison of PFL and FL metallic black cars?

Guessing that the answer will be a resounding 'Nooo, they're different colours, that's why they have different colour codes. Idiot.' But just inuring how different they are.  :)

Maybe it's time to revive the fashion for 2 tone cars?  ;)  ;D
