On my January 61 Panel which is a "American conversion EZ Camper. The bus has two tone paint? M code says Dove Blue. If it was painted 2 tone paint it was done it seams in the 60s judging by the patina and the dove blue coming through. Just wondering if anyone else has seen two tone American conversions?

In a quick Gallery search on "ez camper"... I saw at least ten two-tone buses.

EZ Camper were typically made from Panel or Kombi... which were always produced in single color.

Nothing to stop anyone from painting to their liking though.

A friend of mine has a California Roadrunner camper conversion (kombi based) and it appears to have been painted green on the lower half, leaving the og Pearl White on the top.

I've never seen a two tone bus with Dove blue. What does your m code plate have for color? I'd guess just blue and someone added the white.

Just dove blue on m plate. I was curious if EZ camper offered a two tone paint as an option or if it was done by original owner.
