Thanks to searches on this and other sources, AND N8N excellent help, I have the following list of color for everything I can think about that could have been painted in the factory Avanti. Note that I am not covering interior and body which have whole web pages dedicated to them Thanks to N8N, here is the updated list...Now up to 35!! paintable items, note that I attempted to differentiate between glossy, semi-glossy, and flat. Any more updates/corrections?
