It's funny because the new Ferrari set is what prompted this. Not only
does it have new grey bushings, it has red and white ones too. Now in a
bin of thousands of bushings the red and white will still stand out, the
new grey ones will never be found again. :-)

Ya, its with the bricks and plates that I get concerned. For example my
12x886 is a very large grey structure. If I built it with a mix of new
and old grey would it stand out? Or would the natural variation of
grey, that is easily seen in the current model, cover up the difference?
I don't know yet, don't have enough new grey to tell.

This is very tricky with grey. Would work ok with dark grey.
