Correct Stanagon, it "was" Pearl White. I dont know what color that lower color is but I hate it . It does come off fairly easy, to expose the white under it. I have admired your 65 DD for quite some time. |

Thought I might get to all that original paint under there but it had some collision repair in the same area when it was repainted. The front door is stripped down to the original pearl and the primer has bare metal under it.
This was outside during the maiden voyage runs.

They are all great.

My panel was Pearl White from the factory, but the paint under the re-paint isnt that great. I was thinking of another color( maybe Light grey) when it comes time for a re-spray, but after seeing Minks and Mr. Armstrongs two above photos I leaning towards the Pearl White again. I my mind I thought a panel would look like a gaint marshmellow in Pearl, maybe not. |

The Pearl does grow on you. The panel is really nice looking and it would serve it well if the Pearl can be nailed down as close as possible.
I have been thinking about grey on wheels and bumpers for myself. Maybe a red or orange pinstripe on the grey. |

All standard color on the wheels and bumpers (L82 Silver White) and the hubcaps would be light grey. _________________ Your Vanagon sucks, Stop waving at me.

Here is mine in PPG L87. At first I was not all that eager to go with the original color but glad I did.

Doing 'the body work' on this bus is an understatement. Amazing save for sure. _________________ RPM=(MPH*336* (R&P*4th*1.26))/Tire Diameter in inches |
