Switching up bus colors?

Pick up an 80's copy of VW Trends or Hot VWs. Look at the colors of some of the "sano" restoration. Would you want to be caught within one nautical mile of one of those cars today?

personally, I can't think of a single pre-67 stock bus color that I dislike - therefore what I want is stock colors.

I think a properly shined up Pearl White single color bus looks beautiful but it is a little dull for a deluxe. If you must have a two tone bus then I would stick with a color combination correct for the year. Not a big fan of the titian red but it is your bus so like the others say, do what you want.

I think I would go with the sea blue or the velvet

I don't really care for sea blue/ cumulus white, but sea blue/ bluewhite is real nice.

As correct as pg/sg would be, (although I think (HOPE) Lair was joking about that). Wink

I'm a little partial but I think sea blue/blue white is one of if not the best later bus color combo

maybe..........if it wasnt the most common bigbutt era color scheme.....seems like they made the shit outta the sea blue buses,i remember in the 90s it seemed like every other split i saw was sea blue

Hi Mike,
Let's see some pictures of this 66.

Doesn't matter what color you paint it. You'll just slam it and flip it like all the other VW's you've had in the last 3 years.....

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm just jealous that you scored a 21 window....
