Hi all,

As requested, I've posted pics of my new GTD in Atlantic Blue.

I think the colour is really great - although I suspect that it'll need quite a bit of washing to keep it looking shiny ...

Great colour choice Tony. It'll look really good in sunlight when the metallic flake in the paint will 'pop'.

If you've not got a good basic washing kit (two buckets with grit guards, wooly mitt and some good quality drying towels) I'd recommend you consider this as a good washing technique will help minimise the risk of inflicting swirls on the paintwork and keep it looking good :smiley:.

Stunning, it doesn't look to be too far off of night blue. Really suits the Golf shap. As said by SRGTD get a good washing technique going. Get yourself over to the detailing part of this site and look at Booth11's washing guide and don't be afraid to ask questions because you will get helpful answers.

That's very nice. It'd be my choice I reckon.

My re-order (fog light-gate) will now be Atlantic Blue having seen TonyJ's photo's.  My original order waiting at the dealers with no fogs is Isaac Blue.

I do like that Indium Grey in the pics very much but it is too similar to my existing GTD's Limestone.

I was very close to an Atlantic Blue GTD yesterday and it really is very nice, very similar to night blue.
It will probably be as bad as DBP and CG to keep clean though :smiley:
