Right time has come to make up our minds to either paint it or let it roll as is :rolleyes::rolleyes: so what do you think??
i am torn between colours and whether to replace the sign writing or NOT??
i am liking the idea of Harvest moon beige all over and re sign writing i detest the yellow big time.
so let me know what you think :

Oooh harvest moon would look ace!

It's really hard choosing colours. We were going to paint Joey velvet green and white for 3yrs! Then suddenly decided to do him dark flint and white and that was it! :lol:

I love the paint, but if you don't like it then maybe you should paint it

The paint is not original the original paint is white and has had many coats of different yellows over its years the sign writing is prob the oldest part of it as thats been painted around a few times. :)

if you like the sign writing take plenty of photos and have it redone by a good sign writer.
i would have it repainted and it would look great in harvest moon

I say re-paint it - it looks awesome as it is, but at least you will preserve it better re-sprayed, then just get the sign writing re-done :)

Ahh, cool, then it makes sense.... Thats all good! I saw this van for the first time at volksworld last year and loved it! I snapped a fair few pics as you were cruising thru the car park! I just love sign written vans. They make them stand out from the crowd and give an amazing retro look! I'm sure whatever you chose to do will be cool! :)

I say paint it. I always see a red splitty at shows with retro coca-cola logos on its and a roof full of old crates. Its the coolest van i've ever seen!
