Lindor's makeover
So the seatcover has decided that it's Lindor's turn for a makeover as she is starting to show some rust spots and we've been wanting to fix the bonnet since we bought her and remove the indicators from the front fenders.
This will be a long process as we'll most probably will have to go down to bare metal to remove all the layers of old paint.
She wants to paint her two tone, Capri blue and Kalahari beige below.
I know there goes the name.
Your comments and suggestions are most welcome

Re: Lindor's makeover
You right the name suits the car, so now it will not only be sweet, but also colourfull.dixtoy wrote: Thu May 25, 2017 7:17 pmthanks I was hoping more for suggestions about the colour combination. Wife says she will stay Lindor as you get them in a blue box

Myself never been into the two tone beetles, but understand that others love it,
the colour Blue will fit nicely with Lindor's personality.
And with the "New Owners" evening suit.
Will watch this thread for progress
Enjoy

Re: Lindor's makeover
I recon this is how you do it, have a beer and give instructions, while the owner strips
