VW guys - color choice:
 
I should have my 1956 Karmann Ghia ready for paint in a week or so. I'm torn between going with the original color (Trout Blue) or Pelican Red/Toucan Black, which is also a correct color for first-year ghias.

I need to know how the interior works? Is the dash red now? What color would it be with the blue? Depending on the interior, the trout blue/black roof sounds cool. How about with a combo matching blue dash, and black trim inside? Oh snap- that would look like "oh my damn" good!

+1 on the black 'n' blue.

The trout blue with the whitewalls looks really classy. I'd stick w/ 1 color.

lendaddy 10-26-2006 02:59 PM

The red/black looks toyish, the blue is stunning and classy. No contest.

Trout blue, for sure.

The "resale red/black" is way too ordinary. That trout blue car with the sidewalls is unique and beautiful. And has the added benefit of being the original color, too.

Trout Blue looks very nice.
very classy

Am I the only one that likes the red/black? Classic two-tone combination on a classic Ghia.

arcsine 10-26-2006 03:24 PM

nah, do an airbrush mural to make it look like a P-51 Mustang.

Starting to become collectables... original color.

I would stick with the original colour. Look very elegant. Just my opinion.

cool_chick 10-27-2006 03:03 AM

Can a girl vote? LOL

Blue

My opinion, no black top.

oldE 10-27-2006 05:12 AM

I too, vote for the blue.

And if the lady wants no top, I think we'd all support her.

what kinda spinners are you putting on it ??
chrome, gold or platinum??

i'de take blue with chrome spinners

but red with black top for gold spinners

i'de go for a two tone blue/red if you install the platinum spinners with the 30 inch plasma screen and the Xbox 360, with the waterfall expresso machine and toaster oven in the dash.
