Title: mk2 respray?
Post by: mk2_singh on 18 March 2006, 18:11

iv got a atlas grey mk2 but its a bit scratchy here and there and im bit of a perfectionist so im goin all in for a respray.

Thinkin of a darker shade of atlas grey maybe with some effects. I have small bumpers and 8v arches which i want to spray black i like a bit of contrast.

the bump stips are goin to be removed and smoothed out.

If i can remember correctly didnt mk2's come in a gunmental silver? has anyone got a pic of thiers they can show me thanks.

any opinionS?  :wink:

Just get the standard colour and add more mettalic flakes when mixing final coats to set it off then the interior matches the exterior and doesn't look odd ;)

well i want to keep it more or less original styles, but then whilst im at it might as well throw some special effect flakes in there.  :tongue:
