I asked thias also at Samba.com.

I dream in turquise since the 80s.

I love these "Bonbon Colors"
I hear some People saying NO DON'T DO IT!!!, no one like it.
But I like it.
AtM my Ragtop is in a Body off Resto.

What you think?
Its very hard.
Thanks

Original was Polar Silver.

It's your car, do whatever the hell you wanna do! Build it for you, not to please others. You live with it after all.

You said it.

If you like it then do it, it's your car and you're the one paying for it and working on it! If you start worrying about what the VW scene has to say you are lost  Grin

What goes around comes around.
Aqua and chrome will be big again, and you'll be the first ready for next season.

Sick of seeing cars like that.

And yes, paint it whatever colour you damn like! I personally love those colours too.

Came out about this color LMAO

You should build a car to please yourself not others.
Its yours not anyone elses, go for it, you only have to impress one person and thats you.
