Make sure you do a top quality print out or save the pic to a memory stick & take it in to get colour matched. Good luck.

Infact, what are your thoughts on VW blues? Found a couple that are actually quite suitable!

^^ to be honest... if its a nice colour it can be pulled off by the car. I think surf blue would be nice :D

Biased? You? Never.. ;-)

I do actually like the colour combination in the first pic Brams posted, fairly suitable!
Not very keen on the last one, just seems odd to me!

Hoping PapaB will have some ideas re what to do when we've removed the panels..


I weld up the holes then paint it in one of the themes I sent you!

I think Surf for the main colour is a given. Just finding a colour that goes just right alongside it now I think. And the exact layout of the colours. I do like the bubble car that Brams posted.

I know of at least one paintshop locally that have a spectroscope and can literally match any object you take in.
