factory exterior gray trim color

[SnakePlisskin]

Not a big fan of the gray color, I think black would look better on my white svo. I saw a guys 9L on youtube with gray all fresh, didn't like it. Any of you guys switch to all black trim?

Nope.

It's charcoal, btw.

Nah. I like the Charcoal trim with the Oxford White.

My 86 1E has Black and I like it.

I like the charcoal much better, but I want to keep my 84 original so staying with the black. I had an 85 Capri RS that was white with charcoal and that looked great.

My 84 originally had a semi-gloss black on the exterior trim stuff. When I repainted the car in Rosso Corsa, I did all the trim pieces in gloss black and the rear wing/spoiler in body color.

Yea Mike but not all of us need more RED!!!

My charcoal looks like gray! some severe fade I guess. Let me guess Mike, you like red cars!

Post some pics if you can brsvo and I'd like to see a white car with the charcoal in unfaded condition if someone has some.

Me too. When I first got my SVO last summer I had thought that the black was faded to begin with as well. Now though, I am planning on redoing all of the Charcoal. IIRC the only black was the bottom of the spats and the windshield wiper arms.
