Re: (badjoke)
The Harlequin edition VW Golfs had alternating color body panels. Every part was a different production color. Also there was a commercial for the relaunch of the Rabbit that started with one black and one white car, and they started multiplying- the new cars had mixed panels (including grey) a quick google image search will explain everything-
long story short- I think he wants the body panels to alternate black and white.
gotta love YouTube- Here is the Rabbit commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv0ZxF_DHic

Re: I need a photoshop master. (Vrdady)
had a moment at lunch... IMHO only two colors looks strange, like you had to replace parts, but didn't have the money to paint it. I think that if you were to mix in silver and grey (like the rabbit) it might work better.
If you are diggin it, cool. Hope this helps.

Re: (p.r.walker)
That rabbit commerical is awesome. I love when it comes on. I even have 2 versions of the song on my phatnoise <g>
But to set the record straight on harlequins, as the above post from p.r.walker is a bit vague and misleading for my tastes... they made golfs in 4 colors and then swapped the panels around. Some didn't get swapped at all for some reason, resulting in single color cars in the harlequin vin range (check the Harlequin registry if you don't believe me...).
FYI, to the OP... The base color (Starting point) is seen on the roof/rear quarter/rocker, and the bumper would not be the same color as the base color, so if you want a white bumper you wouldn't have a harlequin.

| It would be cool to explore this futher, but starting with the logical bases of Red (Lazer), Yellow (Brilliant), Green (Tropic) and Blue (Santorin is closest, or Pelican)... it would be very true to the original that way. |

Re: (Vrdady)
Harlequins are Tornado, Winflower, Pistachio, and Chagall. The colors I listed are pretty much the closes to those colors. I may have named the wrong audi green off the top of my head, but otherwise what else would you suggest to duplicate the above VW colors??

Re: (robbyb413)
not sure how these look on your screen, I was trying for Imola Yellow, Nagaro Blue, Laser Red, etc... as many Audi paint colors from the best of my memory
this could be fun... especially with a 400+hp BT 1.8 under the hood.
