I REALLY like seeing modern vw colors on older vw's. Particularly when it's
well done, and a common vw shade. I've seen a new beetle colored pastacio
paint on a vanagon and it looked slick!
However, Especially if your bus is already white, I say stay white! At the
very least, stick to a vanagon color. Remember it takes more than twice the
costs to do a full color change, properly. I mean, the engine even has to be
out! EVERYTHING needs to be removed (to do it "right"). If that's the case,
I LOVEEEEE Escalanda Green and slightly less so, Tornado Red. Those two
vanagon colors are the bee's knees. I think a green carat would ROCK!
