What Colour should I paint it?
« on: October 30, 2006, 11:00:41 »
I have just bought a 1996 5 door 300tdi 5 door.

It is in fairly decent condition, apart from the usual little patches of corrosion the bodywork is straight. However the paintwork is not that great. (Westminster grey (I think))!

A mate has offered to respray it for me. Initially I thought about Tangiers Orange, but I wonder if it has been done to death.

So I am looking for other suggestions (with or without pics) of colours that look good on a Disco.

This is the 1st attempt at a full vehilce respray, so to make it a little easier I think a solid colour would be better.

A nice royal blue colour...

Then you can add Saltire Stripes to the roof like Die Bok's South African Roof on his disco!
