well, I know theres some waves and variations (imperfections) on my 71' super beetle's hood that I know I will never get out of the hood. By no means is this project gonna be restoration quality, soo.......
What colors are less revealing as in showing off dents? I know its in the lighter hues, I was thinking whites and yellows (which is what I'm planning on painting the bug) would show less..
am I right?
advice? _________________ money money money. |

You can get away with more imperfections with white. Flat paint works well too. _________________

Yellow will work but white shows less shadows. _________________ 1978 Transporter, 2.0L FI |

There are several colors that will show less damage, lighter colors work well..........stay away from really dark colors and metallics...........any paint is better that just rollin' primer. _________________ This is my 23rd year in the Auto Body/Paint Game!
