  • What Colour To Paint???

    ok guys so i'm going to kick it into gear...seeing all these awesome mk1's i wanna pretty mine up

    I have already bought flame red (old school ford colour...very very very red) ...in acrylic laquer its very expensive paint. as group 3 paints are. been sitting for a few months as i was going to paint the beetle with this but lost the time as i had school to contend with...so the car went under a cover!
    FLAME RED


    I have already painted my engine bay in the golf a subaru colour...Dark blue mica (52D is the paint code, its a metallic looks mint ) this is an awesome colour and again group 3 so its expensive!!! I have 1 litre left so i will need more if i were to do the car in this colour...
    DARK BLUE MICA


    or any other suggestion...just post what you think!

    the point i'm trying to make is...WHAT COLOUR SHOULD I PAINT MY CAR???

    I'd paint it matt black.

    If you paint it candy white, I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron...

              matt metallic brown with no bumpers, the blue would still work in the engine bay too.

                blue, cause that's what you said you were going to do and that's what you've already started doing in the bay...
                blue..

                besides, we already have plenty of white and red mk 1's here...s

                        Midnight blue with lots of coats of clear. Would look awesome with the wheels that are on it now.

                          I've always wanted (but been too chicken to) paint a car in Hammer Tone.

                            I'm voting for red, because in my opinion I don't see nearly enough red ones. It is your choice in the end mate, What do you have your heart set on? The paint in the 'bay suggests you have liked that colour for a while, maybe it was destined to be blue
