[Roadsters] Two FairladyZ, 55 years apart

The ones I've seen appear to be solid grey, no metallic.

There are some metallic silver-grey or charcoal grey colors that I like, 
but so many of these new colors appear to be just industrial paint. 
Think HVAC systems or electrical power boxes. I predict they will age 
about as well as the earth tones of the mid 1980's.
