Searching for a grey paint
« on: September 25, 2010, 09:38:27 pm »
Evening all.

I am looking for a dark grey to match plastics on the lower part of the bumper on my Mk6.

Anyone got any bright ideas of a car colour similar to it?

Had a Honda Accord that was 'Graphite Grey'. Try checking that one out!  :happy2:

Isn't the colour of your TD's a pretty close match.  :smiley:

^^^ They don't know what the colour code of it is, it's just the grey powder coat.

Good shout on the Honda Grey Greeners  :happy2:

What are you gonna use it for? Painting the brakes?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

^^^ Thanks for bring up the brake painting issue  :P

Front splitter is the main idea but also picked up a cheap set of mirror caps, so tried one of these first
