Re: 67 what to do with the paint
Got two shiny buses so I'm done with nice paint and this will be my daily driver, just want something I can drive and park anywhere and not be concerned, throw the boards and bike in and not have to worry how I treat it.Rudy_032 wrote:smash some new paint on there!!!

Well then anchor wax might be the way to go. Love the tinted windows!!! I wonder how hard it would be to unveil some of the red paint?

Re: 67 what to do with the paint
Shouldn't be too hard, was thinking about whacking some oven cleaner over part of it and see what happens !

Re: 67 what to do with the paint
Depends whether you prefer a ratty blu bus or a ratty red one.
I'd go the PMG if it was me. But looks good now as well!
PS had the same dilemma with my panel. Keep bright green and 1970's signs, or strip back to polar white. Chose the green machine for now. I can always strip later...

Oven cleaner and go find the OG pmg red, is my vote. The blue is too splotchy and has that big patch missing..... IMO

Re: 67 what to do with the paint
My PMG has shiny paint - I would rather ratty red but oven cleaner doesn't work real good on 2 pac!. Because it's a daily driver previous repairs and daily knocks are starting to show after 5 years which include the last 2 in the open 24/7. Plus I live and work 50 to 100m from the sea.
If you go ratty you can always paint later.

Shiny requires wayyy too much body work, that would be enough to convince me. I vote PMG ratty.
