Clearly you have been speaking to my wife!!

Haha yes I know that wasn't your choice . Have you been on bus selecta ? It will allow you change colours add accessories different wheels etc to give you an idea

[57Bus]

I was using 'Bus Generator' but will just on Bus Selecta and have a look.

There are a TON of white/blue busses out there just as there are lots of white/red busses about. Hop onto one of the paint colour threads here and look at the different VW factory colours. There are some great colours that you could use instead.

Hey Danny

The planishing starts on Monday but we will also need to pre mount all of the pop outs, rear safari and waste line trim. I can't see that taking more than 1 1/2 weeks, then we need to skim coat and rub back. I have given up putting timelines on jobs as every time I think we are close more 'stuff' pops up.

Next big question is colour? White top and light coffee bottom or off white top and baby blue bottom. At this point I have no idea which way to go?

Cheers

Ian

Two of my buses, not exact colour matches but may help a little

I'm buggered if I can find those Aussie paint colour sample threads on here.
Can someone who knows where they are post a link for 57Bus to check out?

Thanks for the links,

I like the cream white as pictured below. This bus was at the recent Dubs at the Abby show in Qld. It's owned by Kombi Celebrations. I emailed them for the colour but they never got back to me. To make things more confusing they have two cream buses on their website, 'Lola' which is cream (they have the colour of that Bus on their website) and the one pictured below which is more of a coffee colour.

The wife likes the baby blue / white look, like the 58 Al did a few years back. Let the battle begin!

Bus is mine as above. Sorry mate never got email, mrs deals with that side. Colour is Harvest Moon, I'll find codes if I can

[57Bus]

Thanks for the message, great bus! If you could share the code and paint manufacturer that would be awesome.

Yup, found them, just need to sort my f***n phone storage to upload a pic

Used the top one 2003 for Lola, our other bus Frankie is exactly the same colour but possible different paint as I didn't paint that one

[57Bus]

Thanks for your help.
