What colour to paint my bay panel van??

Recommended Posts

Hi all. I've got my '74 bay window panel ban in the body shop atm and its really for paint. I really want to paint it a nice bright orange (a Vw orange), with white roof, wheels and bumper. But is it worth more keeping it the original colour (pale green/grey colour)?? Don't no what's best??? Advise please :-)

I saw an Orange & white one this year & it looked lovely. All depends if origns mean anything to you or if you would rather have it personalised??

I always think original looks best, and the colour you have would be nice. Even if you don't stick with the actual original colour, I would recommend keeping it to a proper VW colour for the year.

 

When I see things like Corrado's in Lime Green, I just wince! Same for vans, the wrong colour spoils it a bit for me.

It's close but abit lighter. Pastel green is a pretty cool colour tho.
