Bob (Springfield) - of course we did 
Bob - The J2 was originally a single green colour and we found some of the original colour under some aluminium spats that had been fitted to the lower front part of the rear wings. We colour matched it with Lesonal paint and the info I have on it is that it's Lesonal k22920 colour map 448 h5. Now to be honest, this doesn't mean much to me but I can say that the colour looks magnificent. It's not as dark as it appears in the photo I just posted - the light was very poor when the photo was taken and the photos a bit further up the thread are closer to reality.
Matthew - yes, I'm quite pleased with the photo although it isn't absolutely right! The tail of the car should have been slightly more to the left and the camera a little higher up. But the perspective is pretty good as I bought a Box Brownie and took some sample shots to determine its focal length (about 125mm) which I then converted to 38mm for my Sony NEX. But I have no admit the Eureka moment came via my computer screen and Google Earth. I worked my way down the coast road and used Street View wherever there was a cliff beside the road. It took no more than 10 minutes to find the exact spot. But it was good fun setting it up and the result is rather pleasing I have to say. |
