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