[Re: painting my Gti (rabbit) need opinions]

[smithma7 at yahoo.com (Mike Smith)]

I've always had a fondness for a deep shiny black with some mother of pearl highlighting.  See purple and other colors under diff lights/angles.
 
But if I repaint, I'll have to go with the original color on mine.
 
Although, I also lust after a nice pearly white with purple hints...

Hmmm, tough call. Colibri green or blue pearl. Do one of each...
Seriously, I wonder what (not bass boat large, but sparkly) gold metallic
flake would look like with Colibri green? Maybe a few smaller blue flakes
thrown in to add complexity? (can you tell I just saw this at the track? It
was gorgeous) You don't even want to know what colour I'm lusting
after...(that's not it BTW)
