| Is Bahama blue a not so popular color? Every time I go to a car shows I just don’t see Bahama Blue bugs. I have a 66 Bettle L519 Bahama Blue bug that I’m working on and I’m about to that point of getting it painted. |

My 66 is Bahama Blue and it’s very popular with me. I get lots of compliments about the color.

I just finished this 65 vert for someone, and it is very popular with everyone that has seen it 
I always wonder if what I see still wearing OG paint is just luck, or if it represents a color that was more popular. 
Anyway, it IS a nice color, especially after it was buffed out

I literally bought a 66 bahama blue bug yesterday.. I have me work cut out for me. Got it running today and got the flasher and hazard situation figured out as a PO rengineered the one year only flasher system..
I like the color, sometimes its blue sometimes its greenish..

Nacho, it's funny about that, I've had three BB '65s, still have two (though one was painted white prior to my stewardship). It seems like they're a dime-a-dozen around here, I'd swear they painted more '65s and '66s in BB than any other Beetle color in history. There were at least 6 at the most recent Kelley Park show in San Jose.
The strange part for me is, the first two BBs that I've had just fell in my lap, I wasn't searching out that color (or the cars, for that matter). But the one in my gallery is a keeper, whereas the white one, I might unload one it day, it's a project. I tend to prefer Gulf Blue, or Fjord Blue, or even the later VW Blue.
