    It's crunch time at the bodyshop and really need some help to decide what colour to paint my Golf.

    It needs to be a non metalic. I want to find a gun metal grey colour to see but haven't really come across any on golfs.

    Please take a look at the following Golfs and let me know which colour you prefer (as I cant decide) ALSO if you have any suggestions then PLEASE PLEASE post pics and colour names/codes, digg out those old Golf+ and PVW Mags and let me know!!.

    I need demonvw pictures to come back online lol!

    Following colours that I DO NOT want: Black, Red, White (all boring) or blue (it's already blue)

    1. Porche classic sport grey

    I love gunmetal myself. The proper one though, Not nimbus like the above. See the difference in the 2 shades. One has a hint of grey, If you could get it like the MK1 [l]

    Looks good. I think I'd drive with the lights on most of the time, if my car was that colour...

    what direction is the car going?

    Those colours above work well with the metal bumpers and chrome trim, not sure it would work so well with plastic bumpers etc

    Standard colour and true to the original (My GtI and GTI's in general)

    OR

    Something different that stands out from the crowd, but far from orinigal, not GTI and maybe less desirable for resale value to some (even though I'm never going sell it lol!!)
