No that will be fine ... they would only put green down on the V5 anyway. Nearly didn't bother with mine because the grey is slightly blue. The DVLA only use base colours, not shades of! :)
 
Good point. And I shall do the same on mine. Red !! So any kind of paint in a tin from car body shop will do ?? Sythetenic types. What about hammerite paints ?

What if you've got two colours though i.e. Camo, tiger stripe etc? :confused: :D

Here we go, there's always one! :blabla::blabla:

I think you have to put the base colour down or the colour that it most looks like! Often wondered what those VW Polos with multi coloured panels have on their V5 though ... or the Smart Car where you can just swap the panels at your leisure on a daily basis :)

If in doubt just put Pink and it will automatically be registered as a Gaylander :D
