Ready for the Paintbox

Late Summer 2005: Great step for mankind is done. The next guy who will do magic on this bus will be Heinz Heymann and his crew. Paint scheme plans call for L378 prairiebeige for the body and L90D cloudwhite for the roof and bumpers. Thats quite a classic treatment as this bus will become historically licensed. L378 is an original vw colour for the oval-windowed bug and was available in the 50s. It's quite similar to an original bus colour called L620 savannahbeige but thats a bit more pale, so I went for the more unusual shade.
Otherwise, I personally, would strongly recommend choosing L620 as no other colour could charm the lines of an early bay better than savannahbeige, isn't it, helge? :-)))
