Re: Retrovans MeFusco Beetle Truck Project
Still trying to think of a colour that would work,
you Bright guys got any suggestions..... ??
Here is a list so far;-
Azure Blue to match 52 Beetle
Desert drab like the German army had in WW2
Green army camo like the English during WW2
Bright Hot Rod Glitter colour
Burnt Orange like Renault Capture
Please add your thoughts ...
Or take it back to its display days as found...

Re: Retrovans MeFusco Beetle Truck Project
The same colour as the beetle it will carry or a different colour that is period correct (period of the beetle it will carry) that will compliment both the beetle and truck.

Re: Retrovans MeFusco Beetle Truck Project
So you say one of these colours
Pastel green, with light cream colour upholstery.
Azure blue with cream or ox blood red interior.
Sand beige with ox blood red interior.
Chestnut brown with cream colour upholstery.
Bordeux red with cream upholstery.
Middle brown with cream upholstery.
Black, with cream or ox blood interior.
I still think Azure , same as the 52 beetle ...

Orange. Nothing period about this. It must be a standout colour for a standout build
Why do we celebrate the guy that invented the wheel??
Surely we must celebrate the guy tat invented the other three

Re: Retrovans MeFusco Beetle Truck Project
DESERT DRAB FOR ME.
IT ALREADY LOOKS UNIQUE AND DOESN'T NEED CRAZY PAINT TO MAKE IT STAND OUT.
IT'S GOING TO BE A BIT OF A WORKING AUTO AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND AND SO IN MY OPINION THE DESERT DRAB WILL DATE IT AS WELL AS PLACE IT IN THE "WORK HORSE" CATEGORY. IT WILL ALSO GIVE IT THAT "TOUGH" LOOK.

Re: Retrovans MeFusco Beetle Truck Project
How about?,...... fendors a dark colour and the rest of the body different ?
Black or green fendors and the body some matching "pastel" to match
Just my 2 cents worth

Re: Retrovans MeFusco Beetle Truck Project
Was also thinking the same thing. with darker fenders and highlights.
You mean something like this ..
Or maybe a bit more sand colour then this one ..
Or this but matt
Which you pick ....
