x2 with Ray.

Show us the rest when you can. Is that a stock VW color? Edit: found your thread

No....it's not a stock color....I was going to do it in the stock baby blue but the guy at the body shop wanted me to let him mix something up. This is what he came up with. The pictures don't do it justice at all....and it hasn't been color sanded yet. They're color sanding it now and rubbing it up by hand!

Supposed to have the car back this week so I'll post pictures as I go along

Yeah, that thread is a mess. little bit of me being an idiot and a lot of samba elites being pricks. They're not all bad....just a handful. And I'm no angel myself

Ah, cool choice. I am a fan of the blue colors.. (was thinking at first it might've been from a different year and model VW), but I don't recognize them all yet.

Looks sharp.

Thanks. It's getting there. Just finished placing an order to west coast metric and another to cb performance. I've probably dumped about 2 grand this week alone into seals and just small tidbits. Motor is done, just waiting on a call from Anibal Chico on Monday about fabbing up steel fuel lines for the engine compartment.

Progress....some of the wet sanding and buffing done. Shop says that the car should be delivered to my house this week....Monday or Tuesday. :D
