Im looking into doing a mk1 snowplough project...a nod to old skool I guess...similar to what the VAG boys have mastered.

I originally wanted a carmine red SR replica to build but feel it is not old skool enough...what do you guys suggest?

I was thinking one of the yellows ( mustard or jam? lol ) but Im now considering a beige...or any other ideas?

I saw the brown :) I am getting a semi over a yellow one, I was not trying to build what I think would fit into the scene, I was curious over color palettes...I fancied something that was early 80s...but maybe not too popular :) I have some more ideas now spanks :)

What about Ocre, very 70s but I highly doubt there is another Nova this colour

i had an ochre kadett, it looked like an egg yolk. i wasn't a nice colour. have a look at seventies or early eighties gm colours, like parchment beige or china green or blue, there are very few left
