Decisions

While I was waiting for brake parts and stuff, I decided to investigate the little bits of original dove blue I could see poking out from under 6/7 layers of paint. I also found amongst those layers of paint multiple logos, the only problem is, that they are not on the dove blue, but above it. The dove blue looks pretty good condition though.

Before

After. You can just make out the top most Terminix logo in the center of the side panel. That's the top most one, there are 2 more beneath that.

Start of lower side logos

There is writing above the waist line, the full length of the van in 8-10" letters, haven't managed to uncover them yet, but I did carve off an L to get the rear corner blue.

Wouldn't be a problem if they were on the blue.

Some updated pics. Seems that the dove blue is good and pretty much all over. Can't save the logo's though, the paint is so brittle, it doesn't take much to go through them, not really a problem as getting back to dove blue was the main aim.

X2... but you've said that the logos are too hard to keep, so the dove blue all over will be awesome.

It's goimg to have to be blue all over and no logos, but I reckon that's good enough. Original 57 paint seems bullet proof.

Just above the blue is a layer of white and then black, the logos are above that, everytime I try and cut through, the logo's just drop off.
