Mango, Olive Green or reed grau?


So now it comes down to Mango Green as one option - also satin green here up to the gutter is something I have always considered done.

 More mango and pastel white as a gloss finish.

 A beetle in mango.
 This is a matt mango.
 Olive grenn drab.
 Olive green as a gloss, also looks very good.
Olive gloss....mmmmmmm.


 
This a reed grey in satin and below a karman ghia  in the same but gloss.nice soft satin surface - will start to buff up in areas.

More Primer

 It has been a very long time since I made a progress post, generally because there is no progress. I need to commit to paint very soon and that will really change the direction of this stall. I really need to commit to a new shed also more importantly.


 Sliding door still needs attention to detail but overall very pleased so far.
 Opposite sliding door repair also looking buff.
 No evidence of a cut rear quarter.
So a quick cut back with the random orbit sander and a thick coat of filler primer lower down cut back again then final thincoat all over.

It Finally Arrives Gary's VW Bus Subaru Conversion.

With the sound of rolling thunder Gary finally made it up to Norfolk to show of his latest toys.
 First thing, the morning after the arrival of the Type 2baru.
Well its al least 11:30, will they ever wake up?? I know its cozy in there...........Gary and Lucy enjoy their creature comforts!! Notice the deep sump and the raised and vented numberplate. More details and some vids to come from the man himself soon.
