Geez.. She has to be as straight as a die if you're gonna paint her black. It shows even the slightest imperfection....

Or Matt Black, too easy! Doesn`t show many imperfections.

Go a genuine VW colour.

There were Mk1s that Milo coloured Green. Mostly Diesels, dont know what the paint code is, but better a genuine colour than HSV green or whatever.

There`s Dragon Green and Oak Green if you wanted the darker look.

Sounds like you want something that`ll stand out.
