petrol blue green metallic for my volkwagen?

loved that color on my old 300D in this pic-



The time is coming to paint my 86 jetta, which has a brown interior, and is largely gold in color, but the paint is cracked and terrible.



here it is after redoing all the rusted out fenders, creased hood, and resolving some ancient accident problems on the driver side, its a resolution of a windshield leak away from being painted. Im very strongly leaning towards petrol green



Im curious about the original paint process for petrol green. Basically, the body guy whos going to be doing the work is looking into seeing if it can be done single stage to save money.

look into PPG Concept http://www.tcpglobal.com/docs/ppgdccp.pdf

I think that color will look great on that generation Jetta. There's a "discount" base coat/clear coat paint called "Nason" that I've used. It works just fine and is a decent savings over Chroma.

Color is a COMPLETELY personal choice. Whatever YOU like on your car is the best color.

For that particular car, I wouldn't use Concept. I would use Omni. Save the expense of the concept for the $40,000 show car.
