Colour Quandary

[johnwilk]

Can anyone let me have an explanation of the difference between reflex colours and chameleon colours. I liked the blue/green Tuscan on Top Gear and have been told this was Chameleon, but at the motor show a salesman told me the film car was in reflex paint. Anybody know? Thanks

John If you have a look in 'secondhand Tuscans' and read Paul G's message he explains alittle bit about colours !! I had ordered a Tuscan in Reflex Purple, changed our mind, why? £1800,costly re-spray if you dent it,insurance people have to be notified,everyone(well several) seem to be ordering their car in a reflex paint, so if there is more than one colour it might as well be a cheaper one!! Beside we feel it's the car we our buying not a flashy paint job.

See this message previously posted on the TopGear thread. Undoubtedly Chameleon Blue is the dogs b@llocks.... go on treat yourself.
