hi guys im a newbie here so forgive me if this question has already been asked!
but im about to buy a hst body kit which is in primer, im going to have it sprayed up in java black but i dont know the technical colour name for the silvery/ grey colour on the front and back bumper. help me as the kit goes to the body shop tommorow loll

I think you should go for paint everything in black, it's also very nice
I got mine all white (park sensors included) and I really love it.

not to sure about the all black as i find its all to much, i prefer the grey/ silver colour as it breaks it all up a bit. i suposse with the white its a different thing though as its such a nice colour!

My factory fit HST is all black - so I guess if you want it to appear like it was meant to appear, then all black it should be?

see what your saying but if you look at the pictures of most standard hsts they all have a lower part of the rear and front bumper in grey! i did see one at my local dealer yesterday which had the same.

Now you've got me puzzled - which bits?

Is mine non-standard I wonder?

Edit : Just realised - do you mean the towbar cover bit etc? If so, I now understand.

at the bottom of the kits its a silver/ grey colour it contrasts well with the black

is the "technical" name for this not just unpainted ?

no as you couldnt leave a bumper in primer, the paint has to protect it

Hmm... I'd always thought that was the colour of the plastic, it's not painted as far as I know What colour is your unpainted kit if it's not that grey?

Pretty sure it's not unpainted, dont know exactly what colour it is, but I agree it contasts well with the black and prefer this to all black. You could get the regisrtation of a HST and ring the stealers for a paint code ?

I doubt you even need a reg - it's not like you're after the parts themselves, just the colour code

the colour it is at the moment is in grey primer as that what land rover provide it in but then of course i need to get it sprayed up and cant leave the grey bits in primer & would need to know the exact colour code or name.

Yep, well it seems we don't know

So maybe worth doing as Shuzzy suggested and ringing your friendly parts dept
