Seal Gray with the Gold stripe/White accent. I think you finally got it! Also, I normally don't like faux vents and grills on cars, but I have to admit, that looks great on your Z Top.

yup 78F350...a more golden tone seems to harmonize way better with the grey...
using the forum for feedback and an easy access brain storm idea collection, so don't wonder... I will delete the unnecessary pics afterwards

Test:
matching colors...seems logical


BUT somehow it is not always true...maybe the color proportions are outta the place.
So no matching colors for the sides...voila works much better here...and a blur filter with black outline on top...Bingo
PROBLEM --> how the heck am I going to find a shop being able to re-create that for a reasonable price...lol

Those beautiful Fuchs wheels go well with a near matching color. Vinyl for the stripe? You could buy a sheet of 3M vinyl from eBay or a vendor and test it yourself before spending money for the Professional. http://stores.ebay.de/TINTLOOK/_i.html?_nkw=gold&submit=Finden&_sid=758900980
