And the upper color and bumpers were apple green, etc.
Maybe we could convince the maker to use the proper colors if they are going to try to imitate a Wild Westerner. |
The bottom colour is apple green, upper is Ravenna and the bumper is ravenna as well  so the pictures on the sheet looks quiet similar 👌 |

@ Luman
As far as the blue stripe all I can suggest is go to a automotive paint supply and look for a blue to satisfy your taste. I don't recall having a specific paint code because the blue is originally a decal.

Thanks Bill! I'm actually gonna make it as a decal again, I like it better that way but as far as I can understand is similar to the Olympic blue? Kind of light blue? |

Polish that shit our or something. Spray some WD 40 on it prior to a pic. Some vanilla smella vasoline or something..... 
Then we will see what once was.

Wauw i love the look of the half faded blue! Awesome patina!! 😍
The stipe was probably more blue than the one on the left, looks more like it was as the one all the way to the right.. No? |

What would be really cool is to have all in the video sign the blue stripe.
If it becomes a smash hit then it should increase the value of you Wild Westerner.
If not then it would be easy to repaint the Blue Stripe.

No picture of it but there's a nice Wild Westerner High Top on the side of the road.

Talk about finding a needle in a haystack.
Times have changed, Satellite Searching !
Dan is definitely the Man !
I am waiting on a response from who I believe owns a Wild Westerner In Alabama.
Soon I will post a updated list.

I drove right by it last week. I don't see it on the map either but someone pointed out google hasn't gone through the area since 2012. I should have taken a photo. It's there and you can't miss it if you went there. And yes, it's in the middle of no where on a road seldom traveled. I was looking for a place to camp for the night on our trip when I saw it. It is a worthy bus if someone wants to go after it.
