Nice paint. What an inspiration. With an interior like that, who needs carpet and vinyl?

Hmmm....good question re. colour - I just went to the paint shop, looked through the colour charts and picked one I liked the most (just had a code rather than a specific colour name). And forgive me for being protective and not posting the code, but would be nice to have it on the road before someone else paints their bug in the same colour


Colour sanding is continuing - the decklid and guards have come up nicely (still doors, bonnet and shell to go!).


front guard looking shiny...


You can see the difference in the paint colour depending on lighting conditions.

Cheers,

Hopefully will be done in a few months (but have already overshot estimated date of completion a few times!).

Engine is a type IV 2L (71 x 94) with 2L heads (but 1800 valves)....etc

This is a old photo but you get the idea:
