I have read about this too, but I seem to recall that the solid one is the Porsche
paint. The Swedish magazine "Bilsport" was to paint a project Golf in this color,
they opted for the solid Porsche hue because it was easier to paint, and to keep
costs down a bit
A friend of mine painted an 83 Polo Sedan (aka Derby) in this Porsche color. It was
awesome, looked like a tiny T81 2-door sedan.
