I’m in the process of doing rust repair on my beater VW Baja ranch runner.
Rather than just do a simple bed liner paint job I thought I’d have some fun with it and do her up in Gulf Blue and Orange. What pattern? All blue with orange fenders and lower 1/3 side? All blue with orange “stingray”? Solid orange or solid blue is still a possibility. Pic of vehicle in process of tear down.  |

Like a 60's GT40? I want a Bug like that but admittedly, don't know much about them.

Everything should be Gulf racing colors.

Quote HistoryOver and above effort. Thanks very much for this. Seeing that, I’m thinking... Less orange on the hood. Blend the orange on the front scalloped edges into the fenders. Run the center line over the cowl, roof, and down the back. Connect the front and rear fenders with an orange stripe down low on the body. Navy blue stripe between the orange and blue. The curvature of that hood detail may be a little tough for me to make smooth. |

Im still not huge on going out of my way to be a billboard for companies that aren’t paying me. Like I said there though, ultimately I don’t care, you do you. It’s not to my taste though. |
