WHAT COLOUR WILL IT BE?!!!!!

You must have missed Episode 3:

.Funny that you should mention colour :)
Always thought that choosing a colour would be simple. I love vintage cars in black.

But after spending hours and hours browsing the web and trawling through more than 250/413 Notch pages on The Samba to help me decide, I came across this picture:

Image

Poppy Red it is then! An original VW colour - L54 (Was only an original colour for the later convertible beetles, but very few were apparently painted that colour)

more pics of what we are aiming for:

I usually prefer understated colours, but :shock: I love the look of a bright red notch.

The colour code was sent off to Ferdi, and as you can see, no time was wasted.
After he did some further research and got the complete formula off the web, this is the MMS I got,
