Almost forgot about this one. Original velvet green 1968 tourist delivery Westy.
Front passenger door had one round of TR3 glaze in this shot, and right rear corner had been repainted at one time long ago. It was peeling back to reveal OG green underneath.

I thought I remember you doing a rattle can job. |
I did a Plastikote Corporate Blue 221 Engine Enamel rattle can paint job on the Road Warrior!
(the car reflected in the Road Warrior's rattlecan is the original Marinablau VW Squareback)
But the BobD is all original L63H4 Taigagruen!

But you are the only one with your mirror on the correct position..
Heres my (forgot) Red 1971 on the way around the country in 1985. When the woman I was with suggested we try to steer it by opening the doors driving at 65 mph on the GSL, I knew I was going to marry her.

What does everyone think,
Buffed and waxed original paint? Or All original untouched.
Trying to decide what route I want to take with my Arizona Yellow 68.
Thanks!

The Arizona yellow is a very attractive & classic looking color on the Bus, mine will go back to that color. Keep yours original!

This?
I vote buff and wax |
Yeah thats mine! I love the color, I hope that I find success with taking the black off the front. I've read through the forum about removing paint, but I'd love to hear the methods that any of you have used to take the paint off with little harm to the original paint.
