Nice green, nice wheel covers.

What's that shoddy blue one next to it? Looks slow.

421, even with the incredibly poor colourmatch on the fender, always looks great. Not biased at all, mind.

Abscate - Certainly hope you were able to accessorize too. Perhaps new summer shoes?

Well familiar with Riverhead, used to be a tiny town not too long ago. My mother bought a house east of there in 1962 that we sold recently after she died. Lots of vineyards a bit east, used to be potato farms, and pretty all the way east as far as you can go.
I will be back there to visit shortly, Volvo permitting.

What kind of shoes do mechanics like?

That green is really nice. I miss my Nautic Blue, but having the green is a nice replacement.

Do you have any tips for getting a good color match on the bumpers? My green bumpers are a mess and I'd really like to have them painted. Their texture is terrible as if paint flaked off. I really don't want to get new bumpers.

The best thing to do is to clean and polish your paint on the fender and hood, then get paint made up to match the shade on those panels. Colours fade and there were even factory variations depending on how sprayed it in which country so the chances of 421 matching perfectly is slim. Any decent paint shop should be able to measure the RGB of your current paint and match to it.
