It's yucky plastic alright! My Christmas list is getting longer by the hour! The colour is aparantly Mercedes Almondine red, I have the paint code but I can't seem to find it listed. I have not given up yet. It does change shade a bit in bright sunshine, more kind of candy apple than maroon. I'm afr...

I can see I won't get away with anything on this forum! The paint on the house only looks wet because it rained in morning Mike, honest.
