10 years ago I had an '88 Atlas Gray Jetta coupe with orignal paint. It got clobbered and is long gone. This summer I found and bought an '86 Atlas Gray Jetta coupe with original paint. There is NO WAY these were the same color. I recently saw an '88-89 Golf in the Atlas Gray of my previous '88 Jetta, and I have seen other late Mk2's in wreckers' yards that are also consistent. I am absolutely positive the paint on my '86 is indeed original. Were the earlier Mk2's painted a different gray in reality like the Platinum Gray Metallic of the Sciroccos? Or maybe just the cars (coupes) made in Germany?
