i've seen alot worse paint on aolt of cars. atleast it was done right, it wasn't like spray painted on with a can or anything. i think you should leave it. must be a real head turner. the colors are alittle odd, but so are alot of other things, like the white rubber seals.

Hope the pastels are coming back in then I won't have to paint my bus. I unfortunately catch a lot of crap about the color but I like it. Yeah its pink and blue (faded a little). Your ride looks great, don't change it.

Your Vdub looks great!! Dont tint the windows though. If you got a nice interior, dont tint. Also it makes a bug cleaner!! Just my thoughts...

Beautiful paint job! Everyone is being so harsh Laughing I love it. It's so unique and attention-grabbing, and the paint job looks wonderful, not at all like some cars out there. Hmm...and as it seems I may be the only "chick" reading this, it may explain why I like the color so much, hehe.
