Which color for my mk2?

[blackdream]

This week I'll take the car to the bodyshop to have it painted. I'm still a bit undecided on the color, I think I'll go with a blue like a "candy plasma blue" from Kawasaki Ninja or the "blue linarite" of the Peugeot 107. Black roof. Or also a red/bordeaux still with black top. What do you think??

Examples: even if pics don't make justice to these colors...

the first two are going to be more expensive, traditionally bike colours are made from inks, or are 3stage pearls. the second one may/may not be a xirrilic pigment.

so i would first check with the body shop on costings for the colours

2nd colour looks sweet

oh guys I just find another color that looks nice and maybe the right compromise between the first two. It is the blue recife that is stock on the 206 rc and other Peugeot

I hope to see a Peugeot of this color tomorrow so I can be sure...

Aubergine (sp?) as found on the 'Edition 1' golf mk2?

the pug blue is a box standard pearl, so thats a good choice if you like it, cheaper to refinish for chips etc, that expensive pearls

Feck me, is that a factory colour? Never seen that before!!

I assumed so, seen a few pics of different corrados that colour.

If I was spraying my car Blue, I'd go that colour

Its Agean Blue on the pugs and its by far and away the most common colour, sold shed loads of them. Can look manky quite quick if not cared for.
