have you considered a vinyl wrap ? so much cheaper , the perfect finish and you can always remove to sell on if needed ? also it does not chip as easy as paint :D. i think white is a good shout and a safe bet . ive always thought that a solid grey, in gloss not metallic would look lovely :thumb: ive seen it on a porsche carrera and ever since then ive wanted it :cry: check it out :norty:

How do you clean vinyl? Can't wax it surely?

If I were to do it I would probably go for a wrap..

initialD 30 August 2011 04:52 PM

yeah , very nice :thumb: would look lovely . i can reccomend 3m di-noc carbon wrap . i used it on my bonnet and found it easy to use and its very forgiving if you make any mistakes ? :D http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/...1308073736.jpg

nice one buddy thanks for the help

ibis white is the audi colour, to be fair ford arctic white is a brighter white, i have done full resprays in both, the best white however is simply the white tinter off the scheme

like so:

wrx willie 30 August 2011 08:29 PM

so what white is the best or the whitest

cuprajake 30 August 2011 08:57 PM

Stright White off the scheme. All whites are a derivutive if this, any decent bodyshop can do this for you.
