Alright-there it is - that unmistakably shaped vehicle called The Vanagon. Has anyone ever done some nice custom paint to one?  ..and if so I would like to see photos- I am getting ready for the spring to paint and would like to see some ideas on color schemes, brands of paint,etc. etc. I will paint it myself in an outdoor booth on a warm day.
  I mean what really works with a Vanagon?I have searched Google for Vanagon pics.  A solid candy apple red color looks ok -or fat-retro 80 stripes? The old "BALL & CHAIN" says make it baby blue on the bottom and white up top--I think "no"....The shape of the vehicle doesn't lend it to 'traditional' ideas.  How about flames? or should I keep it original?  
 Any short, non aggressive advice will be appreciated.
