Mismatched panel colour thread.

I had two new ( to me at least 20 years old) wings from a scrapper fitted to my car. Perfect colour match. You would have expected fading from sun exposure in 20 years to have made them quite different. In the 80s , I had a Ford Orion that had different colour panels due to fading from about 5 years old.

You can't see it very well here, by my Orion had the NSF door from a breaker's yard car, and the bonnet from a different one, plus a rattle canned wing/sill after I had a slight mishap

Oh and I got the boot painted at a body shop after I removed the lock

Mine was red, worst colour for paint fade apparently.

Saint-Louis, Senegal. The predominant yellow colour suggests this is a taxi.

Excellent! It’s barely even ‘predominantly’ a car any more! 😂

I love African vehicles, especially even older ones than that which are a proper mish-mash of various vehicles and you can play at guessing what they're cobbled together from!

I don't know if I keep seeing the same Peugeots, or if there's something about this blue/red combo that their owners like - but here's another

Due to a unfortunate failure with the door glass last month. ☹️ My Stilo has gained a silver door. Hopefully only as a temporary measure!

Seen a few days ago. No photo of the drivers side, but I can confirm that it also has two doors in the same shade of blue!

A 1927 LaSalle demonstrating DuPont’s newfangled quick drying paint making two-tone (and three-tone) a thing.and some kind of Nissan demonstrating it could still be done many years later.

Now restored back to Black. Just ignore the rear quarter!

Shit pic though due to the rear light tint and configuration this looked like it has the boot lid from entirely different vehicle. 

It also has'hybrid' written on it and was chuffing out some serious clagg.

Spotted today. I really don't know what is going on here. Panels different shades, the two tone door... Parked half in the sun half in a garage for a long time? intentionally mismatched? made the best of a shit re spray?
