What colour

[Golf Loon]

So my Scirocco has had all the metalwork done and is now at the paintshop. i need to decide on a colour.

Its silvery grey at the mo and I hate grey and silver.

the engine is in and running, so would be nice if exterior colour was not a million miles differentfrom the engine bay, but I can live with it or paint it later.

I have been looking at blues or greens, and I like Genuine VW Colours.

My top two so far are

Helios Blue (LA5Y)





And Green Pearl Effect which has a couple of shades (LC6U) or (LC6V)









What do you blokes reckon?
Any suggestions accompanied by a photo or paint code gratefully accepted.

The green looks much better than the blue you put up Matt.







I wanted to suggest a metallic brown that came from Porsche but I don't have a pic of it on a Mk2 Scirocco nor the specific paint code!

unless you plan to do the engine bay and doorjams in future I would go stock or only a slightly different shade. Unmatched paint really cheapens the look of a car. Especially one that people will want to see what she has under the bonnet.

Having said that the stock grey is pretty dull isnt it.

The blue looks cool on the golf but the green looks better on the rocco

can't wait to see it done

Black?


Silver doesn't have to look dull!

Lovin the green colour too...

I agree with Tim, a colour change would be wrong Matt. A repaint in the std colour is the way to go IMO.

There's a Pearl Grey, I forget the code but that looks mint when it's fresh.

I reckon it was a Mk2 colour, Rallyes had it.

Flares and bumpers are all being colour coded.

Dood Jams, boot, everywhere is being painted. Except engine bay.

I`m gonna enjoy having the working 20VT, rather than rip it out and have a shiny shell again. Been there before.

If I take the engine out fopr any reason I will paint it then.

I really dont like silver or grey and the American has a black one. I think 2 black roccos might be a bit much for one workshop.

dragon green without a doubt, one of the best colours vw has ever made imo
