I Have an opportunity to get all of the bodywork (including the rust around the windshield...woohoo) and re-paint done on my '69 Westy.

The original color is pearl white - however, I want to make it two-tone (cloud white upper). What color would you suggest or want if you had this chance?

whatever you do, please don't make it it babyvomit green like the later bays.

white and red is timeless

When I get my Bus re-painted next year, however, I'm going with Imola Orange Pearl on the bottom and Pearl White on the top.



Awesome.

Looks blue to me. Look at the passenger corner. That Bus is blue.

Damn, that blackie does look good. :lol:

Damn that Blackie does look Blue!
Either way is looks good but is likely a Brazilian Sh#$box.
The roofline is questionable.

it needs fushia flames.

Black would look good I think but kind of evil for a Bus!

That Brazilian Bus' chrome bumper probably started rusting after the photo was taken.

Still, I love those BRMs next to the dark paint!

I do like the rear mounted spare though. Any ideas where I could get one?

Nah, it started rusting before the picture, they have photoshop now

that chrome bumper makes me want to kick it.

and how could you open the rear hatch or the deck lid with that wheel there?

Look close at the tire mount, it is hinged to swing away to the right.

Stainless steel bumpers are available, made in Vietnam. Not too expensive either.
