I see the paint cans in one pic. Mind telling what you used? Perhaps not available in my remote area, but paint and getting the right colors are always interesting. Nice job, btw.

This Smaba is from the portuguese VW agent.
It's from June 1950.

To be exact: this Samba is in the collection of the Portuguese General importer of VW, in a subcompany called LGA, situated about 40 kms before the gates of Lisbon.
And this bus is a 1952 Deluxe, not a 1950. (First Samba production year is 1951 BTW). Attached a pic, when we were lucky enough to be admitted into their halls with our Portuguese 1962 bug ("limousine de luxo", meanwhile passed on to private Portuguese enthusiasts) and could check out their collection. Pic dates from 2005 and shows also the General Manager of LGA, who at that time was caretaker of that collection.
