HJ sandman ute restoration

[ambientgoat]

I've got an unrestored (and very rough) HZ ute (base model, ex govt fleet)
I can confirm it's body colour in the tray (well, it's mainly bare steel from years of doing it's job, but the little bits of paint that remain here and there are body colour)

Byron told me that all utes up to late 1975 were painted grey vynacoat in the tray, afterwards all were painted colour as per car exterior.
My original question was should I paint it grey, as original or go colour which is more popular?
I prefer the colour but to be a true restore, I should go grey.

Mine is early 76 and was painted grey vynacoat in the tray.

About all I can add is my HX Sandman ute is body coloured and it is 76.
