Painting the RR... original A4 Silver or...

[chargerbelgium]

I want to do a resto 'light' on the RR. Just repair some dents and scratches and a new fresh paint coat.
The car originally came as A4 Silver with black interior and black top. I will add a YearOne 6 pack hood.
It wil be like this:



I am leaning towards a bright color (always loved the B5 blue)




or a more 'sofisticated' color like Charcoal Grey (or the '67 Ford GT500 Pepper Grey)



What are your thoughts?
I am not a 'it-needs-to-be-factory-correct' kinda guy. And besides that, it won't be a $10.000 paint job.

Dad bought a new '71 Dodge pickup,and had it ordered from the factory a '71 Dodge Polara charcoal grey metallic. Beautiful color. And there are enough factory correct cars, make yours the way you want it.

Me personaly like the B5 blue and with a black interior that would be badass with a 6 barrel hood. I am changing mine back to T5 Bronze Fire Metallic and since my interior had already been changed to black just kept the theme, I also got a 6 bbl hood. Up to you but Blue and black is a good combo. even if you choose not to do the vinyl top.

I'm kind of partial to blue, but the grey is nice too.

Ahh, but these ARE "yesterdays" cars.

That silver looks pretty darn good.

Love the charcoal - and it is a lot less prevalent than the B5. I just think the charcoal would be a lot more distinctive.

a4 is very rare I have seen only 10 cars painted that color in 30 years when I painted my car DuPont didn't have that color and had to formulate that color in the new 2 stage paint--the paint looks OFF_THE_HOOK in the sun ck it out AL

After seeing this, I really like the silver.

My paint shop uses the Dupont (new name is Cromax) paint brand so does somebody know the formula for A4 Platinum Silver?
Thanks, Christian

Great Posts! I would not be holding up my end of the deal if I did not throw out F-3 Green! On a cloudy day, pictures make it look gray/silver. 1 car, 2 colors! Color
Blindness is no fun!

Wouldn't the shop know the formula for A4?
