Does anyone have access to original vw paint colors? I know you can find them online but I wanna see some colors in the sunshine to make a choice for the notch.

I like Iceland green too. Diamond green is an amazing color, but I don't think it would suit a notch. I'm so confused....

Matt,

If this helps.... Send me a high resolution pic of your notch plus a colour swatchs of the colours you are interested in and I'll photoshop them together.
As everyone knows its pretty hard to make a decision from a tiny swatch....
