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 ... :wink:

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.

So you say one of these colours

Pastel green, with light cream colour upholstery.
Image

Azure blue with cream or ox blood red interior.
Image

Sand beige with ox blood red interior.
Image

Chestnut brown with cream colour upholstery.
Image

Bordeux red with cream upholstery.
Image

Middle brown with cream upholstery.
Image

Black, with cream or ox blood interior.
Image


I still think Azure , same as the 52 beetle ...

Orange. Nothing period about this. It must be a standout colour for a standout build

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.

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
