Got a call from the body shop. Painting will begin within the next week or 2! So I have been searching the tech forum and photo gallery trying to confirm the underneath color scheme. There is a lengthy thread on the Samba that shows a complete resto on a 58 in which the underside is primer grey, wheel wells are sealing wax red and the front splash pan is...? I think I saw one black once and one gray once. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=257371&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=600 I would like to hear everyone's opinion on the simulated over spray. It never occurred to me until I saw this thread.
