Vapor color? Whats that? I just had my Vanagon painted. Its a 91. I wanted
it to be the same white as the New Beetle, which is Cool White... whereas
before the white used was Candy White while in 91 my van was painted Pastel
White with no clear coat. Clear coats started with Candy White. This year
they're using a mix of Cool White and Candy White depending on the model,
however the Eurovan is and has been in Artic White while South African
Vanagons are in Candy White. Well they said (the place that painted it) that
the Cool White is so new that there isn't yet a color formula for it yet. So
they had to order it from the manufacture (PPG). I still need to take it
back to have it color sanded. It turned out pretty good. I'm not certain
that its identical to the New Beetle, I'm going to wait until its color
sanded to make the comparison. It had some minor body work done and the
front and rear fiber glass bumpers had their cracks fixed and were painted
as well. I had the door jams done as well. I'm pretty happy with it. I had
it all done for 1000 dollars. There are one or two very minor specs that
they missed, but I was pressuring them to get it back to me by Wednesday of
this last week. I just couldn't live much longer without transportation. The
busses in Orange County are a maze and a drag. Now if I only had the money
for those Rhein Wheels, tint (any suggestions on choice of tint?), fixing
the AC, putting in pop up vents by SFC in the rear on either side of the AC
thing/venting tunnel (any suggestions on who could do this work in Southern
or even Northern California? These vents or mini sunroofs come in 17 x 17 or
14 x 9, which opens or pops up on the 14 inch length), putting in an alpine
alarm with keyless entry and pager with a toggle added so I can turn off the
alarm while keeping the pager active (for areas with noise abatement laws
when I now there will be security, like a parking garage for an office
tower), not to mention a totally bitchen stereo system (PPI, MB Quart,
Alpine, JL Audio). Can anyone lend me some money?
