Right guys while the vx is off the road getting built i am thinking about painting the thing while its lieing in the shed redundant. but what colour should i go for? i am thinking of something different t the norm. so a few things i had in mind was:

Purple:



A Light Blue:



A RS4 Blue:



Audi Nimbus Grey:



Or This Very Different Paint Scheme Themed on a Fighter Jet Which I Do Like:



Or any other suggestions are welcome trying to stay away from traditional manderin, yellow, kawazaki green, white.

The purple looks very nice indeed

[christhegasman]

I always like ford racing blue or scooby wrx blue But really it's a matter of taste ?

[TheRealVXed]

Mmmmmm.... Nimbus Grey

[Noodle1791]

Outta the bunch i really like the light blue! Then nimbus grey. not so keen on the purple and the RS4 blue doesnt look bold enough for me. Not keen on the matt finishes either.

That BMW looks like its owned by an 8 year old... Always thought VXs look the mutts nuts in matt black tho

[james.a]

Nimbus grey ftw.

[G-Bob]

Nimbus gray looks like primer! How about "old man burgandy"

[nicollow]

Calypso pink is quite cool...

[ItsLikeAnElise]

Metallic silver.

You decided against wraping your car then?

[GiGo]

Out of the choices above I think Purple is the nicest looking one. Personally I'd stick with Blue and just add a bit of biscuit and carbon Also are you offering your wrapping services, I've got a long list!

This old man with no taste says the Jet inspired scheme looks great for a track car but one of the light blues for a road car. Trevor.

Love the look of that purple one. Maybe it's the inner Chav but the rest look average in comparison.

Nimbus grey ftw.

[craigb78]

Thanks for all the responces guys but you all have mixed opinions so i still have to make a choice. i decided now i might paint it instead of wrapping as a friend i know is currently in teaching me bodywork and painting so i am in need or a car to practise on hence the vx220 becoming substitute. also i will be doing the wrapping services but at the moment i have just finished my job and up to my eye balls in astra parts which need shifting and another astra of which needs breaking appolgise. im really likeing the purple but because its going to be me practising on the vehicle i think whatever i go for it doesnt matter as it is more than likely going to be changed or maybe go back to original colour when i come to sell it anyways.

Got to be the purple from those choices, love that one. What's wrong with those saying grey? Are you actually mental? He's not painting a battleship.

[Mitch_VX]

The purple is my favourite but i also like the blue

[FLD]

The purple is nice. You could go for a candy purple with a red/blue switch base. That'd look awesome. Alternatively dysentry beige would be 'unique'.
