About this paint

Every now and then, a carmaker goes a little over the top with special-edition vehicles. One such special edition that went way beyond normal boundaries was the 1996 Volkswagen Golf Harlequin—a limited-run model with an eye-grabbing paint…uh, treatment achieved by swapping multicolored body panels onto a single car at the factory. Following the success of the European-market VW Polo in Harlequin guise, Volkswagen built four Golf models in the same multicolor motif for use on the 1995 auto-show circuit. American VW executives found the show cars utterly charming, and immediately ordered 60 examples for retail sale. Dealers responded promptly, snapping up all 60 and pressing VW for more Harlequins. Another run of at least 200 examples was approved, a number of which were sent to Canada and Mexico as well. I thought it would be fun to have a Harlequin scheme for the VWs in iRacing.
