Default Paint help

Getting close to painting my 75 coupe resto-mod. It has medium saddle interior which I like. The car was born white.
I would like a medium to dark grey, but never seen a C3 with that color combination. Anybody out there got one or seen one. Would love to see some pictures.

Yes it was. There's also Charcoal metallic which they offered in 1981 and 1982

Steel Cities Gray [metallic] is a stunning color and looks GREAT with a saddle interior. A 'warm' saddle color (has some yellow/ocher tones in it) normally doesn't look that good with ['cool'] grays. But, SSG is a lighter gray tone with some very faint green highlights that blends really well with medium saddle.
