What color do i paint my Mk1???

[gldgti]

After putting in the blue(ish) Cordoba seats, my silver GLD with brown trim just doesn't look right. Ayden got me thinking with his door trims and carpets ideas and I'll go down that road to get the interior right. As for the exterior...well it needs a respray as '70s metallic paint was never designed to last for 30 years in Oz!!! The artist in my mrs has advised an aquamarine colour paint and I reckon it'll look good.

Sorry you restoration purists, but I decided after the roof scrape that I did with my tractor I would never get it back to original so now I'm out to have fun!

In summary, hiho, go for a blue or a near-blue colour. I like the colour of Ayden's GLD.

thanks brackie,

any paint shop will do it for you - its on the australian standard colour chart and is called "australian standard bright blue"

my car used to be carribean green....

Whats the chrome lip you have on the front?

Always loved gun metal but the mk1s lend them selves to bright flat colours also!

some kind of metallic blue always works for me. although mk1's do you look awesome in most any colour

"chrome lip" is just a bit of stainless sheet i bent up and polished back in the day.... it looked good at first but after a while it got bent and rebent so many times it was just wavey...

Looks good in the pics!

So have we come to a conclusion on the best mk1 colour!

I like silver but also like orange.
