aaddzz123 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I've finally finished removing dents and scrapes from my mk1 gt and have always had the intention of spraying it in the original 040 white... but now that the prep is done and i'm ready for the colour I'm not too sure because I can literally do any colour I want lol. There are a few things that make me want to keep it white, used white primer incase paint chips on the front from stones over time it won't be as noticeable, it would be original colour, white is easy to work with.... But then I think gloss black would be sweet... Or a solid red or white with a tint of blue to make it look cold... I don't know. That's why you're going to try help me decide lol! Hopefully... Right now I'm thinking either just original white or go a little brighter white if I can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Also just to mention it has to be a solid color, no metallics or pearls etc because it all costs a fortune which I can't afford atm. Want to paint it before jae Quote Link to post Share on other sites

funny onion Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 the beige is metallic and slightly pearl too though- said he wants to avoid that due to cost and would need to also buy lacquer then too. But i do agree would be cool lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you find original GT rims too. Will get moist.. I like the idea and would be cool to see but personally I think it's a horrible colour combination lol. I appreciate it's rareness but I don't like it haha . id stick to 040 such a clean simple colour that looks so good I have this thought too. Although it would be nice to be a little different.

But i do agree would be cool lol also, let me come play when you do spray it? Gunmetal sounds nice. Not sure how it would look without it being a mica though. Just be dark grey I guess... And yeah you can come when I paint it if you like . Need to get a date yet but it will more than likely be next weekend. Will let you know . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bluebear Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Keep it 040 White! There doesn't seem to be that many white Mk1s about, and you'll be keeping it how it was out of the factory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aaddzz123 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Think its just going to have to be 040 guys. I'll be doing the door shuts etc anyway but you can still never be sure to get every single bit of the car in every tiny area and I want it to look perfect without going back and doing little bits in the future. I'll be painting the engine bay too when I change the clutch in the near future so might do that something a little different to make it stand out . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Maybe something different like this blue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 It did cross my mind to do a blue or green like that but I think it will look girly on anything that doesn't look like a fighter jet lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
