  • Help me choose a color please!

    Hey guys, for once I need advice from you guys and gals.
    I'm in the process of building my triple white cabrio, and half of the car needs to be refinished.
    Triple white is a special edition of the mk1 cabrio, everything was white even door card.
    I cannot choose which white to go with.
    I already have 3 gallons of matte white from dipyourcar.com which I bought for $600, but then when I washed the car today, the passenger side of the car is in near perfect shape so I'm debating if I should dip the entire car matte white or sell the pro car kit and just repaint the messed up side alpine white.
    PS. The car will be lowered on white snowflakes.

    I voted for paint, but be careful. 20 year old white is going to be tough to match and blend. Heard white and silver are tough to match.

      What's your budget and timeframe? Everybody knows my opinion already but those are some things to consider for this specific project.

        I painted the MK1 jetta over the long weekend for $400, It's far from good, but its good from far. More time would have made it better.

          IMO I would just re-paint the entire car. It's going to be to hard to match one side of the car and if its not done right its going to look just as bad as plastidip

                Respray; but do the whole car at the same time.

                  If you brought it to cosmos Loc would be ecstatic, even if just for an estimate. He would for sure cut you a deal on a paintjob. Also, my opinion on plastidip: I think it's great and especially if you stored the car during winter months it's would last a long time!
