Atlas white looks nice. Best bet though is to go to a paint shop and look at samples. that way post editing, screen settings etc, don't affect the perception of colour.

Atlas white definitly out of those two Looks cleaner.
but you should seriously consider Manila Green (L63Y) also - my fave colour atm for a mk1

just on your post on the last page there are variants within those colours aswell, when choosing colours for the rocco i chose my colour code and then within that were two variants in case one colour in the mixture wasnt available. thats most likely why you will see variations even within one colour code. Best thing to do is have your painter mix up the colour code and add/ remove portions of certain colours to reach the desired colour, thats what i did and glad i did cause my paint exceeded my expectations 110% and came out perfect.

And good colour choices btw i even think my rocco's new colour may be somewhere scattered over the past couple pages

Thanks everyone for your help! as usual everything has taken a massive turn and will be happening at a later date... erica, always been a fan of the manila green, AWESOME colour! and dom your rocco is looking tits!

i've opted to keep the car blue for now and have just finished giving it a lick of paint in preparation to be put back together this weekend, in fact a have a wager on saying i can't (or can ) get it done by the end of saturday.

pictures speak a thousand words so take from it what you will, the plan is to get this thing driving as i dont have a car, mismatched paint and all, until i tear it down over summer for a complete respray and other goodies (new seals, carpet and headlining)

winner winner chicken dinner









and also went and polished the radiator cap

SHE'S ALIVE!

the mk1 lives to see another day. the wire tuck is well underway and almost complete apart from a few cables but the main thing is the beast is up and running again! even drove her to (and from ) work today!

think pictures do well at showing the shenanigans that ensued yesterday









and one from the other day





need to sort out a few loose ends but fingers crossed will be getting it ready for a rwc and vic rego!
