Well, I can honestly say that I am happy the way the body repair turned out! So what color is cool for Sharky 2? thanks!


I guess whatever color you decide to paint it. Maybe even "shark gray". Wink Laughing


Or sea blue, since sharks live in the sea... or even a period MB color like DB268 "Blue Green":

It is easy to spray flat with no orange peel/hand sanding needed. Light machine buffing when it's 2 weeks old. Lasts good & is easy to spot repair. Shine looks 6 inches deep with no waxing needed.

You need to try a modern BC/CC then. You can wet sand it after 24 hours and buff it up within 3 days.

Coral Red was/is an Oval Window Beetle color. No Type 3s came from the factory in that color, and I've never seen one painted Coral Red.

Here's a coral red Beetle for reference:

I have often thought about coral red on a type 3. I can remember seeing a fastback in the late 80"s painted coral red. Although not a type 3 color still a VW color that I think would look good.

It IS a nice vintage color, and my wife has decided that our Mercedes O309D Bus will be Coral red next. Now if I can only get the time.

Recently, I visited Sharky 2 at the shop and he is getting the proper TLC he deserves.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

The front end had been painted with primer.

On the right side, it was almost finished applying the primer.

The decklid was almost done too.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

The right side view from the rear shot looked pretty sweet.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

A closer look revealed that the roof section has to be painted soon.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

This portion looks sweet. This is the left side of the bottom part of the fender where the end of the bumper resides, which fixed and the that portion was fixed and recessed to give allowance to the end of the rear bumper.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

The ragtop was fixed too.But the roof section had to be addressed some more.

A shot of the inside of the rear portion of the ragtop.

The front portion of the ragtop from the inside.

Overall, Shaky 2 is getting the justice he deserved. More updates to come in the future.

Thanks,
