Title: Colour choice - help!
Post by: Spillane on 26 June 2007, 16:08
I currently have a mk2 8v alpine white as ye may have read already. I'm getting it sprayed and originally thought candy mk5 white with black roof, example of what it should look like here:

I was thinking of a brown colour or something along those line, pure euro/belgium style. What are peoples opinions? Any other nice colour suggestions?

And I will have rm's on the car and slammed on weitec's.

Opinions please...?

Alan

Props to phil88 for the photoshop of the above car aswell. not actually mine.

yeah the black/white is cool plus you wouldn't have to worry to much about the engine bay, boot ect where its not going to be sprayed (or is it? )

no probs for the p'shop, i think that looks top its orginal, browns bit of a scene colour that could be out in a couple of years.

definately go for the white with black roof, at least it will still look original a few years down the line, white looks like it going to be the new black soon anyway

Good point about it just being a scene at the moment, thought crossed my mind and the possibility of regretting a full respray a few years down the line would be a kick in the stones.

@...joe: I'll be getting the whole car resprayed in candy white, except for the roof obviously. I want it looking perfect as I intend to drive over to edition38 in august. Also, what date in august is it on?

Looks like I should stay with my original plan of the white black mix, thanks for the comments lads!
