VW bus "paint game"
« on: Tue 02/02/10, 00:11 »
This site can kind of give you a small general idea of what colors or wheels/roof panels you may want on your van.      http://www.busselecta.com/bus/
The logo is like icing on the cake. It's a rusty cake with wheels, but a cake nonetheless.

That's a dangerous site. I had some paint work done to the bus that went a bit wrong and l was playing with the colour mix. Dark green over chrome yellow sounds awful but looked kind of cool.


OH HELL!!!

love it... so far I've made a cool bay crewcab in green with redwalls, nose rake and spot...  ::)lust

oh and an 11 window panel split, again green with delux trim and ribbed bumpers...slammed baby!

How do you save your pics though? I've tried to save on my desktop but it's just a blank page!
