I have a 58 Logo panel. The logo on one side is still pretty good, but the other is almost faded away. I want to keep it as original as i can, but I hate to lose the logos. What should I do? Repaint the logos on that side and try to weather them to match the other side?

You could always leave it how it is.. since you want to keep it original as possible

Even without seeing pictures, I'd say leave it just like it is. Part of the whole look (at least to me) is that the Bus is the way it has worn and weathered in it's 40-50 years.
My '64's logos are really faded and the right side isn't very visible. The logos themselves were red lettering, however over time the red has faded away making the original paint underneath that brighter than the rest. Some have told me to touch up mine, but I won't do it.

I think it depends on how good they are. if one side looks good and the other side is a little faded, then maybe you could touch up that side. But i cant say what i would do for sure till i see PICS :D

i just checked out his gallery pics. thats a tough call. i say do what makes you happy. to me the door one in the one shot is still easy to see but the logo on the drivers side panel is tough to make out from that pic.
