i know all of your prob hate flip and i think i know the answer to question but thought i would ask!!!
i love flip paint and had a little practice of this flip over my standard blue colour and looks a nice flip!
money is not an issue cos i have bought a load of du pont flip for VERY good price, so the flip will be costing same price as the standard blue! just fancy summit different, would paint it so that i could paint it back to normal colour if i wanted pretty easily, vx220 are shocking for stone chips so i expect tobe painting it in 12months again!
few pics of the car
so wot u think? please dont think boring, hehe

I really like that bluey, purpley, turquoise flip paint you can get.
If you go flip, keep it fairly subtle in terms of the number of colours and i think it would look awesome

flip paints had its day imo, your VX200's mint as it is & a daft paint job would ruin it.

Not if it's done right - alfa/ TVR flip paints are fucking lovely and as timeless as standard paint.

Completely different colour would mean door shuts, engine bay, boot etc. needing done. Just a flip wouldn't show up as much.

As you have the ability to change it whenever you feel like it why not?! Go for it.

Flip, only if it is a subtle one.
The blue looks smart as it is, so I wouldn't detract from that too much myself.
