Need to paint my DTM and trim...
 

I'm trying to decide on what color to paint my DTM and engine tin on my '69 Beetle. The car is going to be Dove Blue (body, bumpers, handles, etc.) with grey interior. Wheels are Porsche Fuchs; polished lip and charcoal grey centers. I can't decide on painting the DTM and engine tin the same color as the body or a contrasting color such as a medium grey or red. Help me decide... :confused:

I think the grey would be a nice contrast. Would go with the wheels as well.

When I did mine, I tried to limit the entire car to 2 or 3 colors. Any more than that and it seems gaudy. So I stuck with black to match the wheels and the trim. Just my opinion anyway.

Dude checked out your page..lookin nice..
Im going to say Go with the medium grey..
I think it would make a great bay..
Personal fav..
Man that looks sweet.. what are your plans for the fan cover?

Peace Troy

The fan backing plate will be the same color as the rest of the tin for now. Maybe one of Joe's CF ones in the future... ;)

Looks great painted..
Peace..

Yup They do!!!

Puuurty!!! :p I decided on Dove Grey (L249) for the shroud and engine tin. It should be a good contrast to the Dove Blue paint. ;)

use the same color as the rim centers. pulls the theme around the back.

Way to go Zen. Now you've got me doubting my decision again. Hmmm... :confused:

i agree paint same color as the wheels.

Or hmmm what color is the interior going to be?

Okay, okay. I'll paint it the same color as the wheels. I think it will compliment the brushed aluminum and CF parts more... :D
