So i have had a back flip on the colour choice for the 74 clubby project. I am of the
opinion that clubbies look best in darker colours so it is gonna be blue... There
are so many out there, and my main requiement is that it is a solid colour (not mettalic)

here is the sort of blue that i am thinking of

I also like a blue i have seen on the previous model Volkswagen golf too

I think you should go for a metalic dark colour as it looks better . why do you want a mat colour if you want matt go for a black as it looks more boy racer
