What colour?
Volkspower - June 18th, 2004 at 09:23 AM

We have a convertible that we have done all the mechanicals on but the paint is woeful (psychadelic paint for a tv ad). What colour should we paint it? I want to do something a bit cool but Dean wants to paint it white!! What colour would you like to buy is the question I suppose.

tell dean i said white is too boring!!! :) unless it is it's original colour ;)



i reckon gunmetal grey with the convertible roof would look good (provided it is a black roof.. if it is a white roof, then go the green with white walls, and stocky rims

whats wrong with psychadelic?:)


BiX - June 18th, 2004 at 09:32 AM

depends, on the person, somebody who i bold and probably younger would want red or orange, while a bit mor suttle would be pep green or white. Personally go the green, if its done really well will look very nice.

White is pretty safe for a turnaround, but consider that a Convey Bug is generally driven by a Grrrrrly. You may be better of with Red (ask more money). Grey isn't gonna do you much good tho' probably?!? Just my opinion!


twoguns - June 18th, 2004 at 09:48 AM

i took the burnt orange.


vwombat - June 18th, 2004 at 10:19 AM

For a Convey Bug? Nah - that's Kombi territory!

Was the car on an ad for washing powder ?????? and two hippies got married in it ??????

Paint the car pink and I will buy it .......


BTW, so that you don't think that blutopless2 is a fairy (because blutopless2 is a MAN) and likes pink, this is really coming from Mrs Blutopless2 aka mscabrio .... I am too lazy to log off as Rod and back on as me !!!!!


lulu94 - June 19th, 2004 at 01:11 AM

i voted red, only because you didnt have yellow as an option.

Bright yellow with a black top looks really good.

will look good any colour you do it, but white is a tad boring

I don't normally vote for red but this time I did....non of the other colours grabbed me..I was leaning toward Burnt Orange for some reason...it can look good

A good red can look very hot and stylish

Peppermint Green is big....but never a choice of mine...it is a bit retro I guess if that's the direction you're going


jenz58 - June 19th, 2004 at 09:13 PM

I hope it has a good top!!! :sandrine

Some I've seen look sooooo bad...Is it a good one?

What colour is the top?, or What is it going to be?


Mr Bubble Head - June 19th, 2004 at 10:32 PM

Its a cool retro colour which will looks tops if its done right !!!

heres what I think of the others

Porsche Red: Very 80s and trying to be a porsche

Peppermint : 80s

Gun metal Grey :very 90s and a bitch to get right

White : BORING sorry Dean who really buys a white car if they have a choice of a colour

Flames : only if there done right usally only one in a hundered turn out good.

OK so it's a classic colour...I did see a VERY NICE beigie white done on a beetle last time I visited Bel...it was Pearl White
