Crunch Time, What colour!! Need help!! More colours added
It's crunch time at the bodyshop and really need some help to decide what colour to paint my Golf.
It needs to be a non metalic. I want to find a gun metal grey colour to see but haven't really come across any on golfs.
Please take a look at the following Golfs and let me know which colour you prefer (as I cant decide) ALSO if you have any suggestions then PLEASE PLEASE post pics and colour names/codes, digg out those old Golf+ and PVW Mags and let me know!!.
I need demonvw pictures to come back online lol!
Following colours that I DO NOT want: Black, Red, White (all boring) or blue (it's already blue)
1. Porche classic sport grey
2. Porche classic sport grey
3. Porche classic sport grey
4. Audi TT Nimbus grey
5. Lofoten Green
6. Lofoten Green (same as funks bogey)
7. Yellow - Actual colour unkown
8. Yellow - Actual colour unkown - maybe a bit bright - seems silly to go from a Bight blue to another really bright colour!!
9. Mega bright yellow - Actual colour unkown - maybe a bit bright - seems silly to go from a Bight blue to another really bright colour!!
10. Mega bright yellow - Actual colour unkown
11. Orange - Marino yellow
12. orange - Marino yellow
13. Cream - Mexico Beige
14. Cream - Mexico Beige
15 - I NEED MORE PICTURES AND HELP
P.S this is the current colour:

Have you thought about going for any older colours that VW used in earlier air cool days?
TheSamba.com :: Type 2 Bus paint and upholstery codes
Still keeps it VW but gives it your own stamp rather than following one you have already seen.
Just a thought.

Cheers utterly-dubberly, I'll check them out, it's not that I don't like metallics (well not all of them anyway), but I'm getting the painting done in trade for a website and they said they really would prefer to do a flat colour.
Bugnorm, I like them all but more so the green and the orange but think its a may be just a bit much, also love the cream one. I think ideally want to fin a colour like number 4 really
Pearcestu, would like a candy pair, but again not really in the "budget" as would cost extra on top if my current deal.
James_w, I don't think I've found anyone who actually likes it lol, if I'm getting the while thing reprinted due to bodywork repairs I thought I may as well get it done in a better colour, a but more golf-like.

Looks like 14 is getting some love, which is nice as I just had a good chat with my mate who's also a but of a dubber and we both pretty much settled on the cream.. It's different but not to in your face different.
Just need to find out what the colour actually is now lol..
Just checked out house of colour, some nice paint there not sure all of it would really suit a mk1 golf though, maybe If I had a hot rod or something.
Think my problem is I like most of them (maybe not the yellow so much) and its a hard decision and one I'd rather not balls up lol
The seat are currently black with red centres but only because I picked them up for £200. So they will be done to fit in with the rest of the car.
Cheeres for all the feedback guys!

i am yet to see a mk1 in that peachy orange colour seen on a few early mk4 polo's
that peachy orange with black plastic bumpers/arches and some nice wheels would be a winner i think, not a metallic colour too.
