I’m looking to get my 1969 VW Beetle that has a wide body plus the mulholland square headlight fenders painted and some body work done. I’m also planning on tinting the hell out of it.

To the question!

What color / how should I paint it?! I was thinking full black or white with tiny but idk’ give me some ideas if you can!

It's a lot less work if you keep the exterior the same color as the door jams, doors, lid and trunk areas. My favorite on a bug is white. White is very forgiving especially if the bodywork is not the best. Good luck.

Bright yellow or bright red, in metallic would really make that bug stand out. But the door jambs and other interior parts would have to be done too for a good looking finish. I just love bright colors on bugs.
