never been a silver or grey kinda guy. if I were to go to a metal color, I'd go to the copper color some of the C-4s are painted, and after 20 years in the Navy, Grey just doesn't look right without a hull number

I liked the cortez silver over the 68 silverstone silver which looks a little more gray to me. The cortez is a 69 color.
