Chaps.
Won't be starting until I have bottomed the colour scheme out, what I can say is it will be a factory colour and it won't be silver.
There's quite a choice however, production started with ten body colours but as the years passed, the stock colour range was increased plus owners could specify their own particular colour.
A total of 1400 cars were build across 49 colours, silver being default if you didn't specify.

Mine,IF I ever get to applying colour,it's gonna be a metallic BRG (says he with a mischievous smile!!!) |

I would like to do a custom colour, maybe if I do another.
There are a couple of colours which are typically 'germanic', it will probably be one of those.

Excellent choice of color, Mence. Understated but elegant. And, yes. Very Germanic.  |

I manage that with standard gloss paint simply by slathering it on 1/4" thick.....  |
