Personally, if this was my car.. I would remove all the tint spray and that, and sand it down a bit, and matt black it/  :wink:
i've considered re painting it but im just not sure yet, I really wanted a white golf, was pretty lucky that i found one cheap.
I guess if i cant get the rattle cans to match well enough i might aswell re paint it.

im not too sure on matt black anymore, a lot of people are doing it now... i think i would go for a matt green/nato green like this:

i plan to satin black my car but mostly because it needs paint and the car is already black... that green looks good though!...
