Choosing a paint colour. Original or new colour?

  1. Ok so my '75 devon was originally brilliant orange, I really like the pastel colours or classic cream colours, but im really struggling to decide what colour to go for.

    i know its personal preferance, but will keeping it the original colour help keep its value etc?

    im planning on keeping this camper for yyyeeeeaarrs so its not for re-sale value etc.

    any opinions are appreciated. :D

  2. If you're keeping it dude then you need to go with what ever you like best. I'm going to get mine painted next year and its unlikely that I'm even going to bother with VW colours. Some will say stick to VW colours, some will say keep the og paint(unless its wrecked).
     
  3. go with what you wanna do my friend original is kool but so is an individual colour ;)

  5. Go with Orange, once is painted you won't regret it. Original is always best. I hated the colour of my last bus but it grew on me & I loved it in the end. :)
     
  6. Jaffa if you wana be part of the in crowd ^-^
     
  7. There's loads of jaffas about... go wild and do something different, marowak's bright pink and Moosey's purple always stand out for me, I chose pastel blue because that's exactly what I wanted and I absolutely love her. As said before of you're keeping it do it how you like, if you plan to sell play a bit safer and stay tasteful :) just have fun with it :) xxx
     
  8. Don't go pastel especially blue ^^ that's a really boring route to take hehe. Sorry tp

    Our buses are from the 70's so you need to go bright and loud ;)
