UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

as the heading says, is there any decent colour that no-ones done on a polo?

i was thinking of doing it a colour concept yellow, but now thinking of some other colours.

as the car im re-spraying is a dark navy blue ( but just says blue on MOT cert.)
i was thinking of maybe a standard primer colour, then lacquer it, ie just put like 6 coats of primer on it, then leave for a day and lacquer a good few coats.

what yous think?

also if any scratches appear thenk its just a matter of a little primer then lacquer over it.

I've seen primered coloured cars before, one being a mark5 Polo thinking about it. My oppinion: big no no, it'll look cheap and unfinished. Also not a very flattering colour.

Are you thinking about a proper respray in different colour? i.e doorshuts and engine bay included? or a pirate job?

erm if i was looking at a respray in a blueish colour then id just do the outside ie pirate as you say..
but if i was to do a colour concept then id get it done properly, ie strip it out and get it done

any other colours tht not many polos been done in?
the mk4 anyway?

ive seen just a couple of nice light green polos, not dragon or pistachio, but a more lime colour.

Yeh sweet.

It's been done a couple of times, you matt black is nice? Also metallic white? gun metal grey? few favs of mine

An awesome colour is Porsche Riviera Blue, a few years back a friend did his mk1 Golf in it & it looked amazing.


Pics of colour on a 911:

flat red or even pearl white like the new fiat 500's, looks mint.
