Re: Paint time!

Look at whites too Tom. Some of them are really very light grays to my eyes, like 2002 Audi "Polar White" and "Polar Weiss" (thought that was white in German, but two different colors... maybe that was Arctic Weiss?). Another consideration -- forget the auto manufacturers chart and use the standard color chart from PPG or another big paint company. I did that for my colors, and found something sort of between Big Bad Blue and Maxi Blue. I figured since it was off the company's stnadard chart it should be easier to match later if necessary. 

Have a good time in Germany, and take plenty pics! There ight be a bit of snow, but DO get out to the countryside while there. Just take the train to another city for a nice vies of the scenery.
