Look for automotive paint stores that can make spray cans for you. I painted Hillman plugs from Lowe’s and my front splitter and they came out real nice.

Newbie Here!

Hello all! I am a first time VW owner, and loving my new (to me) '14 GTI! It's a base model, but it's the driving characteristics that sold me on this car. Here she is, currently stock:

Hey JayJay, what did you use to get that bronze? I was messing around with dip all weekend but could not find the right color combination.

I was using:
-black > Copper Metalizer
-Black > Titanium > Copper Metalizer (made it look pink/peach)
-Camo Brown > Copper (way to coppery)
-Camo Brown > Titanium (meh)
