A Spectrum of Volkswagens

5/29/09

"The soul becomes dyed with the color if its thoughts," said Marcus Aurelius. If so, my Magellan soul has become a spectrum of Volkswagens lately.

Unable to decide how I will handle the issues presented in my last post, I'm ignoring the them and thinking about paint colors!

I had another bus when I was a senior in high school and I gave it a high quality spray paint paint job (no really, it actually looked good - I spent lots of time prepping.) It was a beautiful candy-apple green below and pastel white above. I'm inclined to reproduce this color scheme, but my girlfriend is against it. She would prefer yellow/white or beige/cream. While, I like the look of yellow/white, it feels a little too girly for my camping bus imaginings. What to do, what to do ...

Here are some images of buses that I have liked. Mostly, I'm drawn to the camping and exploring represented by these pics, but some are for the colors.
