« on: October 21, 2009, 11:53:11 am »
i've pretty much decided i'm respraying the car centurion grey, it's orginal color.
but these other options have gone through my head.

my orginal plan was porsche amethyst but the grey grew on me.

inaris is my favorite mk1 color. and the other ones were suggested to me.

centurion in all it's faded glory:



seal grey:



amethyst:



inaris:



platinum:

I can only narrow it down to 2. The Centurion or Platinum. But I voted for the Centurion ;D

omg that green rabbit has an extremely ***in 2.0 in it.
back to the point though...
go for the centurion gray.
thats pretty close to the charcoal gray on my 88 4Runner.
i really like that dark gray charcoal color.. it goes good on rabbits.

Here's a pic of my Scirocco, not sure of the color, it was re-sprayed, and the original was Cirrus gray metallic, I've heard reports that the color that you get to match Cirrus is different than what it originally was.  I like it, though I will probably re-spray it something else.

Anyway, a pic of my mk1 in metallic grey for reference:


Any of those colors you picked would look good.

Inaris is a sexy colour. Every vw I've ever seen in inaris has always been an immaculate show winning quality car.

Repaint it in whatever it came in IMO. Or respray it in a newer VW colour. But stock repainted makes the car look super fresh!

i like the inaris alot too, i just don't think it will look right with all my smoked bits.

it looks good with chrome highlights and stock colored lights.

the centurion grey is a great color for the car especially with the grey interior, but i just think a deeper grey would make it look awesome.

i keep seeing a platinum beetle in fall river just like the picture, i try to envision what the rabbit would look like.

again, the cheap and easy way would be to just do a respray.
if i do the body work and prime the car i can get it painted for 500-600 bucks
from a neighbor of mine.

he painted the trunk on my cabby :)
