I’m starting to get that ‘customisation’ feeling in my bones. Most vehicles I have owned have had a custom respray and now feel I want to do something with the newly acquired Tuscan. It’s currently black with a two tone black/mulberry red leather interior.

Does anyone know what colour the below is please?

Mick if you've got money burning a hole in your pocket my customisations in order of preference would be ;-
1)Hinged Bonnet ... you need to be able to see the engine .. then you'll want a carbon airbox and ceramic coated manifolds
2)4.5 Super sport and upgraded anti knock mbe ECU from DOM at Powers
3)Nitrons
4) Then the respray smile

Probably just spent £25k for you smile

The car is painted in reflex charcoal . It seems to be a trick of the light that it looks that way as no other photos have surfaced and the painter gave me a spray out card of the paint and I could not replicate that effect .

IIRC Dark Fantasy is a Toyota colour .. one Tuscan vert was painted in the factory and S&D have done a T350

My apologies to all, apparently it isn't Dischordants and it is Refiex Charcoal getmecoat

Blackish Red is the official name for another colour , I always thought it was a rather poor name for a colour.
Ronas vert was done in this colour , I'm afraid I wasn't impressed when I saw it in the flesh.
I though Dark fantasy had tones of "Aubergine" being a gardener

I looked at that for my 350 but the paint cost was expensive. Went for a Toyota colour on the end called blackish red, looked a dark colour till the sun got it and the metallic fired through...

The first pic isn't of my car - as someone else said it is a trick of the light on a reflex charcoal. Mine is a deep red candy. Hope this helps! =)
