Bonus question: What year & model do you think this Rolls-Royce is?

[@mylisa7547]

1978 Silver Shadow

[@SoSorry4UrLoss]

It's a Silver Shadow. Probably early 70s based on the way the rear end looks. I'm gonna guess 1970-71.

[@alishaikh2292]

1970 rolls Royce silver shadow

[@benc6614]

It's actually a Wraith (LWB Shadow 1). These were built in much fewer numbers than standard shadows. Longer in the back doors, different rear window and the same hub caps as usually seen on later Spurs. What a car! Thanks for the great content as always!

[@eddstarr2185]

I'm going to guess it's a 1972 Silver Shadow Long Wheel Base (LWB) with the Everflex roof covering removed during the two-tone repainting job.

[@tysimon]

If this was the original color, keep it like that. Kinda cool.

[@BitcoinKal]

Regardless of the poor condition of the paintwork there is something magical about the Rolls Royce which outshines other vehicles.

[@nightrunner1456]

The older Rolls-Royce has much, much more class. The real deal.

[@SMBarbie]

Something about the teal body and the green wheels just works for me. 😍 Nice work!

[@sharonshields1482]

I loved the white walls & the details. Just getting the dirt off made such a difference. O.K. I know the car is going to be repainted, but I like the color that it is now. You won't loose that car in the parking lot.

[@quidsey]

If that was my car I'd have it painted the original color. that car is just beautiful and deserves to be restored to its former glory. Well done again guys.

[@charlesyoungblood1402]

Yes , keep it that color as RR Paint schemes are well thought out to begin with . I've owned four of these and can say indeed they're, " Regal and Rugged when cared for properly . Pay particular attention to the Hydraulic System on these as Fluid type is very specific . Rebuilding that system is time consuming and expensive !

[@HeyBigChriss]

My 4 favorite detailers (not in order) -WD -MAD Deatailing -Detail Geek -Chromatic

[@nightrunner1456]

When the Rolls Royce, still had real class.

[@matthewsullivan5576]

If this was my RR I would paint it British Racing Green. It would go well with the interior

[@edwarddunk2731]

Great color, ditch the “dog dish” hub caps and get a set of RR full wheel covers. Great job! 👍

[@ivanfernyhough3851]

They are rolls royce wheeltrims the long wheelbase ones had them trims,short wheelbase had full covers.

[@burnotto1663]

@@ivanfernyhough3851 This R-R is 1972 The hubcaps came 1976 intended for Corniche but they ended up on LWB as well ugly and stupid in every way

[@KentRigby]

That's a Silver Shadow I, so the year would be somewhere between 1965 and 1976, I believe. The chassis tag should tell you what the original color was and if it were mine, I would return it to it's original color.

[@neilbarratt1523]

My thought was about 1968 because of the side marker lights.

[@fallingstars5683]

personally, i think that color already looks great, it just needs to be redone and it'll look great

[@WDDetailing]

It’s definitely a beautiful color

[@chiefrocka8604]

That’s a chicks colour

[@fallingstars5683]

@@chiefrocka8604 ok and?

[@sofiar.r.4493]

That car's current colour is my absolute favourite colour on earth, so I would just improve and polish it 😍😍😍

[@Sparkysings2]

I love the color! I wouldn’t change a thing!

[@Wordsmyth8]

I love it too!

[@Wordsmyth8]

I would absolutely keep the same color or something like it. I think it’s gorgeous.

[@holgerviel1949]

This RR doesn't need a complete color change. The original color is awesome. However, a brand new RR in a majestic black looks awesome.

[@williamfahey6066]

Painting it Black sounds good. Other choices for me would be, British Green or a really good shade of Burgundy. Good job you did on it. Jeff

[@chandarussell]

I’ve never seen a green Rolls Royce before. I like it. What a great car. In England (where I’m originally from and visit each year) most RR are either grey or black. I’d keep it green because it’s such an unusual colour.

[@agustinlopez2477]

La verdad es que ese color le queda muy bien . La matricula es de Madrid España. Muy buen video

[@BrynSmith76]

You guys do great on these details, you clearly care a great deal about cars and you take pride in your work. Especially doing jobs like this unpaid, just for the fun and experience of it. I hope the owner sees this and appreciates your hard work.

[@autumnmarie229]

I love the original color! I wouldn't change it!

[@darlenecoleman6352]

It still looks shiny and great color.

[@patricksmith3135]

I do rather like the original two toned livery. It is a distinguishing feature of the RR line. Wonderful job boys.

[@mystisith3984]

Yep. That color is a winner. It's like watching the sea in the Bahamas. 🤩

[@LFBsmokealarm]

I quite like the colour it is now. However, in the early 1970's I met a real life milord who had one of these in Regal Red and that was superb.

[@aliciaspell1877]

This color is beautiful I would keep it this color or paint it a silver blue metallic

[@davidlawrenson9168]

You did a great job on a turd of a paint job. Personally I would paint it gun metal grey which I think is a great colour for a great car.

[@hippydippy]

Needs to stay the color it is. It's beautiful.

[@mrbubbles720]

If I would own this car. I would let it repaint it in a two-tone color combination , black body with a dark red color combo. This would look true the original and make it look expensive and elegant

[@carltwidle3287]

At first look I thought it to be a RR Silver Shadow. But now I think it's a RR Silver Wraith. Possibly a 1970s model?. I would keep it in the same color. Came up nice. Beautiful car.

[@BStar3]

I’d leave it that color honestly it’s beautiful

[@jackgaul7376]

I love the two tone very nice I wouldn't change it at all

[@paulsehstedt6275]

It's a Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II from the early 1970s. The vinyl roof has been removed. A two-tone paint in the same colour scheme would be correct, and of course a new vinyl top in matching crème or black. Fully restored and proper maintained, it's a great car to own and drive.

[@michaeldawkins3758]

I would paint it in the same colour, I think its a cool colour...I love it!

[@GeigerCounterVirtualMuseum]

Original. Beautiful color

[@Scranton-tt2hf]

Those are stunning gorgeous cars

[@carguy4658]

The colors you found it in is Unique and frankly, beautiful. Now, to misquote an old movie ... "I saw nine Rolls Royces at the Starbucks this morning, and all of them were Black!" If that is the original color palate, stick with it.

[@michellejaquez8809]

I agree I would like it to be black I think it would look amazing.

[@maxcantab6839]

I love the two-tone green. I’d repaint it the same colors

[@cockleshellzero3893]

Two-tone, black and silver...yeah baby!

[@janesynnot7446]

I love that colour - but a silver would be cool.

[@joshuaryanferguson3702]

i like its original it looks classy onit

[@kristinawentz8801]

I like the original color. I would keep it. The color reminds me of the color of my dad's 64 Chevy impala that he had when I was a kid.

[@soleiltounsi6754]

Don't ever change the color. It's amazing.

[@sharonortedschempp8759]

Beautiful original color.......... PLEASE don't change it........ Please repaint it in its original green or two tone green...... Thanks so much... Ted Schempp, Nashville, TN

[@FeckAO3]

I love the original color

[@vbtktr]

You worked very hard to clean this car. And done a great job. You deserve much more then 3000 like. Most of Rolls-Royce cars are custom colored so original color might increase the car's price.

[@stringer-ik1pc]

The steering wheel is on the 'Right' side as opposed to the 'wrong ' 👍. That's a rare car LWB. They had about 12 coats of paint from the factory.

[@SoSorry4UrLoss]

Absolutely beautiful car. Personally I would keep it the original colour, however if I wanted a change I'd have to go with British racing green.

[@colinwhybro1411]

Love this one guys ! The old girl came up ok. Loving your content from Sydney AU.

[@simonleyman9290]

that blue is stunning

[@lisaparent8246]

It came out pretty good

[@jimsmith7071]

Super color. Just needs a set of trim rings.

[@staceysarian7444]

I wouldn't change the color,. It's beautiful with the color it is

[@simonnorcliffe5877]

Gorgeous cars, I used to own one. Needs to be back on the road 🙄 worth a lot of money here in the UK 🇬🇧

[@oberon85937]

I'd go for a two-tone in midnight blue and silver with a slight pearl.

[@ezekielmalasmas670]

Nice clean and cool 😎😎😎😎

[@kaib1125]

Im a big believer in the car being the original manufacture color it was so thats what it should be

[@marcpacey]

The finished product looks great compared to how it looked before.

Omg how cool it's look ❤️

[@killerdetails6138]

Fun detail.

Yes we drive on the proper side of the road. 🇬🇧👍🏼

Hello!...1956 Madrid (Spain) license plate ❤

[@jamespercival3111]

Black or silver are certainly more traditional, but I like the two-tone green.

[@ianrs6310]

What a sweetheart.

[@kinlamcheung]

Will you strip the original paint before applying the new paint? I would like it creamy white with leather roof.

[@kennethroyce101]

Hi there from Geelong Victoria Australia, I love the 2 tone colour scheme and I would keep it original ❤because it looks beautifull and probably not many in this colour scheme.

[@kennethroyce101]

Keep up the good work you have done for this project

[@Pendaws]

Working on a car made from GREAT engineering :)

[@jimperdue4540]

Same color 😍

[@chrisgreenhill1803]

If it was me i would keep the original paint on it cuz it looks good after you gave it a wash

[@collinreesejones5525]

A '75 LWB SILVER SHADOW '? Great video! 😁

[@Lighting21159]

That’s a perfect daily driver paint job :)

[@8sardines]

Although I am not a big fan of the origonal color scheme and would love to see this in black I would lean to keeping it origonal. If I saw a black rolls drive by I might change my mind. Great video!!!

[@MrHeadbanger366]

I used to be a detailer. If I knew the car was being repainted, I would make it look decent. I wouldn't go to a tremendous amount of trouble. Were I having it repainted myself, I'd go with the original color.

[@arthursmith7106]

For what you started with, great job! Another route could be using Lukat paint cleaner

[@randybock82]

The body style is very cool. One of the best Rolls Royce designs in my opinion.

[@moreufm]

I’m from Barcelona (huge fan, keep this good work!) and this number plate is from Spain. I don’t know the history of this car, but the number tells that the car was first driven in Madrid in 1956. Would be awesome to know a little bit more of background from this car, as it seems it may have been at quite some places around the globe. Does anyone have more info about this british gem?

[@russcooke5671]

You mean 1976

[@MinMeows_Booty]

Ooh that car is a beauty.😍 Being from Aotearoa, I sometimes come across cars that have the steering on the left, so I assume they’re imported from the states. Driving on the left side of the road in a car that has the steering on the left as well would be so stressful for me. Black is always my preference for everything, yet I also think that colour looks good on that car.

[@colingarner6175]

Unlike American cars Rolls Royce are initially built to a very high standard .

[@stephenhargreaves381]

The Rolls would look good painted in midnight blue

[@natedog-8727]

Black sounds good enough for Rolls-Royce

[@jessebaldwin2661]

It's the first RR I've seen with Micky Mouse hubcaps.

[@michaelanderson5975]

Great great job a car like this deserves tender love and care it's such a beautiful elegant car the color and everything it's perfect keep up the good work this looks amazing 👍😎💪🇺🇲

[@williambennett6466]

I think for the part of the world it now resides the paint colour is fine. It needs a re-spray in certain areas the cost of which I wouldn’t like to think of. Good luck.

[@-Gunnarsson]

A white rolls look good also.

[@P.Galore]

Given the choice of a excellent repaint, I would go a very deep navy OR a very deep orchid purple. The car would look black from a distance but sensational up close.

[@LoveBugDavis9263]

Nice color of the car! :) pls keep the original color

[@jerrodjnoles5361]

Dude u clean that car good

[@BobPegram]

What? No interior detailing? I was looking forward to that! 8-))

[@diecastchannelminiaturasde2357]

I like the color! I'd just do a little sanding and would then add a couple more coats of paint if there are no body repairs to be made!

[@gmoney1061]

Cool! Stylin’ in a RR? I want it painted BLACK! 😎👍🏾🥳🤟🏾😆

[@gary1705]

Gorgeous colour defiantly had a butcher job paint attempt previously as original Rolls had twelve top coats at factory

[@MrSonordrumr]

Keep it original imo, and Brent, Get In there and help man!

[@robu9398]

If it were mine I’d paint the original color. Though I really like this color. I know it’s a silver shadow probably mid 1960s because of the handle on the trunk. I would love to see the interior detail. Hope the owner fixes it or sells it to someone who would love it.

Keep it a mean green machine
