Maybe, maybe not.
The paint on the front window frames and po-out windows seems to be thinner compared to the actual body paint so a lot of times it comes off and goes to bare metal or primer.

Thank you for the kind words Gentlemen. The other side came out even cleaner.
The Art of "Unpainting" might just be my favorite thing in life.
Need a Velvet Green Emblem if any of you hoarders have one for this bus. Can Trade.

Nice work! WAY better than fresh paint and a heck of a lot cheaper too.
Fade on the roof is stellar.

I own a UK RHD 'Devon' Velvet Green/Pearl White Camper - and received this Jigsaw Puzzle as a Christmas Gift - its a really nice quality puzzle of a late VG Westy, obvioulsy faked in picture, but it whiled away the hours on a cold winters weekend 
Its a Ravensburger Puzzle, 1000 pieces - puzzle number: 17087
Ravensburher do a few VW themed puzzles - they are all nice items!
and a quick pic of my my own VG bus!

Yeah, it's a pretty special truck, I cannot believe how clean it is, there is no real rust anywhere, just some surface corrosion here and there but the underside is scary clean and the patina is perfectly mind blowing. Tell Steven it's in good hands and thanks for selling it to me. Oh, also let him know that the possible transmission issue he warned me about ended up just being a throw out bearing that puked its clips so luckily nothing big. |
Will do. He's a good guy, glad it worked out.
