What color did you paint your body capping?
I may be in a situation where I don't think I will be removing it, and since the po has already painted it, I am following suit...
If you can throw me another shot from the front I would like to see what a body color windscreen does for the look.1971 SIIa 88" NAS Dauntles V6

It lists Masai Red as being available from 1970-1985. Poppy Red was apparently a late-'50s to late-'60s color choice.
There were at least two formulations/versions of Masai Red, though. I'd asked in another thread for the "correct" Masai Red, as there are at least two official Land Rover color codes for Masai, and they're different. So, what color Masai Red actually is will depend on whatever the factory sprayed, which given the changing paint code must have changed at some point during the production run.Bo Widerberg

LOL! I know, right? Well, to be fair, these shots were the only ones I had at work, and they're from the day I brought her home (i.e., pulled her out of a field). She's cleaned up now, so there's only faded Masai Red, primer in places, and Birmabright in others, and none of the moss/slime/etc.Bo Widerberg

my rover is a 69 so I'm guessing poppy red would have been the color. I've attached a picture of the best looking paint on it, outside is faded.THING 1 - 1973 88 SIII - SOLD
