Take a roller and go at it.  I painted an old air cooled bus and it came
out fine...cost?   Zero, using extra paint.

Yeah, nobody's going to buy that van for $2500. You might stop by some auto
body shops to find out if that graphic can be removed. It's could be
possible depending on the paint used.

Another idea is to stop by an auto body supply store, like Wesco, and call
some of the folks who have posted cards on their bulletin board. These guys
are looking for extra jobs.  It might come off with a lacquer thinner wash
done by a professional.

Subject: 85 vanagon sale help

Hi folks,

I've been trying to sell my 85, manual vanagon for a few months now and
haven't had any luck. I think I'm in a rural area with not much interest.

Anyway, I am leaving tomorrow for Florida and have no idea what to do with
it at this point. My options are to take it (and it really isn't ready for
another 1500 mile trip with only 3 days to get there) and leaving here (in
northern PA in a barn) is not a great alternative. I'm worried it will get
destroyed by mice and the like.

Anyway, so in a last ditch effort, I'm asking the community for help.

Does anyone want to buy my van (I'd part with it for $3000, or as close as
I can get to it) or does anyone have a storage solution ?

Thank you all!
