Should I re-spray my Corrado

[gsbellew 0]

I'm toying with the idea of giving my Corrado a new coat of paint over Christmas while the spray booth is empty. There is very little wrong with it, one or two wee stone chips and the likes, but a new coat of paint would do no harm after near 15 years.

 

Its Aqua blue at the minute, my main question is if I do repaint it I'm planning on sticking with a blue, but should I stick with aqua blue or go for some other blue :?

 

Whats the nicest blue for a Corrado :?:

I like Sonic Blue (The Subaru Blue), but not sure how it would look. Try doing it a non-VW colour, make it stand out a bit.

 

Or even maybe one of the pastelly blues the have on Lupo's and the like? They're quite nice, if a bit girly....

go with aqua blue, but do a few coats and plenty of lacquer (spelling?) so its really deep and glossy. In the right light I dont think theres a better colour on the corrado... see Tom's (VR6's) members gallery, some of the photos of his paintwork are pant wettingly good.

I'd stick with the aqua blue Gearoid. Are you going to spray it yourself? :D

Gearoid, i would nearly leave it aqua and make it go faster!

you will end up with 2 cars polished to perfection that you wont drive :lol:

I'd stick with Aqua, probably the best c colour IMO.

Aqua has got to be one of the colours that most suits the rado I would stick with that

 

I reckon there is something cool about having a 15year old car that looks brand new 8)

Cars that I won't drive eh??

 

 

 

Looks like it'll be aqua then, looking at VR6's car made my mind up quickly 8)

 

@ Geo, I've been learning as I go from the head painter in work :wink:

Gearoid, that the best place to have the car!

VR6's car looks sweet alright

moonlight blue - but then i would be biased :)

Aqua blue for 2 reasons. One; (yes im biased) its one of the nicest colours on a Corrado. Two. Its the original colour!

Goodluck with it mate. Im thinking of doing the same thing, only i wont do it until i know i can find someone who is confident it will be like a factory finish, but wont cost the earth.

[Critical_Mass 10]

no no no go for the inca blue. look boutiful as benard matthews said.
