Gray Pagoda owners in US
« on: October 10, 2021, 22:39:45 »
Hi all,

Just trying out my luck here... Any Pagoda owners with paint codes 172G, 178H or 728H around Dallas, Phoenix or LA that would be willing to showcase their car to me within the next couple of weeks? My Pagoda will be getting a new paint and I'm having hard time deciding between these colors. Would love to see these colors on a Pagoda out in the sunshine to make the decision easier. Will be travelling through those cities in the next 14 days. Coffee is on me  ;)

Cheers,
Pete

When I read the title of your post I thought, heck they are almost all grey. Or bald!

Gray and Bald Pagoda owner here BUT I also happen to have a pagoda in 728H that lives in LA area. 

The car is now painted in original color of 728H and being assembled slowly — so it is not in the sunlight but in my garage.  With garage door open, the sunlight hits the hood and fenders. 

I can show you original paint  (under dash panels) and you can see new paint is very very close match. 

Send me a Private Message through this site and we can coordinate.


If you want to travel three hours or so north from LA — member DONATI, also has a 728H.  I have seen it.  Very nice.   DONATI is a very accommodating member.
