Well... I just have to share my frustration about Bianco 210 - the 'white' colour of Unos.

Let's say that I have three white Unos (one is technically not mine, but it's here and I'm working on it...)
- a white Uno Turbo, 1988, colour Bianco 210
- a white Uno 45 5-dr 1990 (Mk1), colour Bianco 210
- a white Uno 60S 5-dr 1992 (Mk2), colour Bianco 210

I'm sure you've noticed the similarity.

I've put the bonnet off the Uno Turbo onto the 45. The white is more 'yellow' than the rest of the 45.

I put the RR door off the 60S onto the 45. This white was also more 'yellow', about the same as the bonnet. At this point I tried polishing up the paint. Close, but not quite white.

Today, I put another RR door onto the 45 (no dents, the one off the 60S had 15 dents). This white is more greeny-bluish than the rest of the 45.

I rang my paint shop. Asked them to find the book with the colour chips for FIAT. What shows up for 210? "There are four shades here, white, greeny-bluish white, yellowish white, and more yellowish white..." I decided to order the 'yellowish white' in the hope that it matches my Uno Turbo!

Well, what a surprise! So, I now have three different shades of 210 Bianco on the same car! And here I am trying to save time and money by bolting on replacement panels instead of fixing dents and respraying! Grrrrrrr....

If ever you're looking for anything coloured 210 Bianco, please take note!

Thanks,
-Alex
