      yea I was thinking the same. Not extremely impressed by it. I had higher hopes, but delphin seems to be the better deal.

        When i do a respray, if i can ever bring myself to ditch my paint... Its going to be a grey, non-metallic... kinda like that one color had on the TTs a while.. At least ive thought of it

          Well my problem is that I don't want to keep delphin because its a plain color, but I don't want to do a complete color change because of all the work. So 2 tone is probably my best option if I don't want a full color change. I can leave my door jams and engine bay the original color and still have another color on top of it.

          But the problem with two tone is finding colors that mesh together nicely while still keeping the old school(or early model) look without being "ricey". What came to mind is the delphin/burganrot combo that isn't to bad, but doesn't have much of a wow factor.

            I think you're making a mistake.

            Your m10 isn't bad ass enough to pull off a two-tone.

              yea i know. that was one of my issues also... well in the future a built m10 or at least a m20 swap should suffice.

                  what does the motor have anything to do with the paint job, i cant pull panda like you because i have an m20, same concept right?

                  As far as two tone, well i have thought about it before but realized that it looks better to have all one nice color, Calypso would be sick tho.

                            Calypsorot--- Lagunengrun---Black sapphire metallic---Lachsilber---
                            From metallic colors..

                            From non metallic
                            Alpinweiss----Jet black---Hellrot---

                            These are the ones that i like

                            Matt white would look nice with orange stripes or scallops...

                              keep it simple unless you are going to go with some really baller wheels.

                              a nice simple respray in a factory color looks alot nicer than a wild color with stock suspension and 14" bottlecaps.
