are you after a blue blue, like the mg trophy blue, or a deeper, sort of navy, blue?

hmm, still thinkin coral.

Where would i go for the original vaux colour then obviously im assuming a vauxhall garage... anywhere else on the interweb? Or any well known places that may do it?

Coz i dont have a clue!!

Also would you put any flake in it? I saw one the other day and it had loads in and looked shite!! I wouldnt go OTT with the flake just abit.

thanks

no flake, just a couple of extra coats of lacquer to give it more shine

Nu-Agen or whoever it is in FlamingCorsa's sig will be able to get the paint

Go for coral blue, and get a load of lacquer on it too

hmm maybe abit close to my original arden blue... im a poain in the arse lol!!

I e-mailed nuagane and they replied back to me. I said 3VU was coral blue... anyway they said:


Hi Mark,

Vauxhall 3VU is called Chagal Blue, and Vauxhall don't have a colour called Coral Blue. 3VU is an 03 pearlescent colour, and we can supply it. 3 litres should be ample to do a corsa, and we can supply everything else you would need for re-spraying.

If you have any further questions please feel free to call us on 01234 355990 during office hours.

Many thanks, Gavin.
