i first did a good heavy washing with bleach water and a green scubbie. Then after it dried good i just started the sanding of the rusty sections and the old paint. Then after that i taped it off and painted the blue and the  white as the areas were primered going around. I do not have the garage to fully take it apart so i did it this way. Besides i do not want a perfect bus. I did a frame off on my first bug and it was hit like scotts was only  15 minutes after driving out of the body shop.

Now if i can find 2 tires that hold air for the drivers side that would be cool.

yep. It is Krylon " Peekaboo Blue". I was going to do it yellow and white like my 69 beetle but that would be too much yellow in front of my house when the sun is bright. Blinding............... :D
