A recent color flub by Brooklin was the "Driftwood" and copper '54 Cadillac. I noticed they finally renamed it gray and copper. Driftwood was a much more beigey color. I note also slight improvements being made on NBC reissues of former BML models with regards to color shades - very slight but noticeable.

@ed-davis The Zephyr in Bergundy Red comes to mind:

Very slight color change.

Was the Nash-Healey paint also updated? I have never seen them together...

@ed-davis The Studebaker Dictator as an NBC model is slightly darker than the BML version. And the '42 Desoto as an NBC had the top in a slightly different shade - I posted a comparison not long ago. Brooklin has another batch of the BML DeSotos on offer, so I'd wager they are now using the updated paint on them - perhaps JK knows for sure.

Thanks, Harv. The new paint system in the new factory is state of the art, and it's showing in more accurate colors and better finishes. So, there are subtle differences between the most recent issues and previous ones.
