GeeBee Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Paint looks great! I believe the VW color was Clementine Orange. That was a slightly earlier colour, (1970-71) Brilliant orange came out in 1972, which was the last year of the 1200A using the old body and torsion bar suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Got to thinking how I was going to do the chrome hubcap on the Beetle wheel, mask off and airbrush it using Alclad ? a bit long winded, in the end I settled on the BMF, Just another three to do .....
