An 'important' question, opinions requested!

Ok, this is a bit tongue in cheek, but it will be fun to see the feedback.

I have finally nearly finished building the replacement ACES ll lookalike seat and console frames; please don't ask what happened to the ones I had already made.

I was painting everything a medium grey, and my wife asked when I was going to put the final coat on. When I said that this was it she looked surprised and told me that they should be black, shouldn't they...?

I educated her about how the ones I had seen in pictures were all medium grey, so was just following what the real world has. She replied that my sim is not the real world, and wouldn't they look better in black..?

So I'm I a quandary; do I go with real life or do I keep my long suffering and very tolerant wife happy? Right now I am leaning towards keeping my wife happy, what would you do?!

Hi Les,

although the consoles in reality are painted grey (that's what I did so far), my wife would like them in black too

You could paint the outer side and the back black, leave the seat side grey? Or argue the case that the colour grey is in fact a lightened shade of black, when you mixed the black with a bit too much white they lightened etc. etc. (this may require copious amounts of the finest wines known to man and possibly a meal out).

I’m not gonna even mention this to my missus. On past experience she’ll mess your head up and confuse and complicate matters. You’ll spend fortunes, won’t be happy with the result and won’t have any money left to put it right. Then she’ll have you hoovering the place, doing the laundry, the garden, putting shelves up etc. All the while trying to tell you it’s what you wanted all along. in fact, does anyone know of a cheap solicitor?

E.T.A: Leave it grey for now, go to the pub and have a think about it. This may take quite some time but it’s only for the best.

Go Grey, It is what it is.

I've already gone grey, 25 years of marriage and two kids does that to a man!

I would suggest NOT using that argument with your wife!
