Metallic or Metal Flake Paint on a Seven

[Peter Naulls]

There was a "polychromatic" (metallic) red Ruby at Beaulieu many years ago. It was very shabby looking and the owner claimed it was the original paint, I didn't believe a word of it until I saw reference to it in a sales brochure. I think it was an option on very late cars.

Metallic paint does have a tendency to show up any uneven-ness in the surface.
