I want to keep the cream color (repaint) as that's the base color (door jambs, etc). I'm not a fan of the brown. For the brown, I considered KTM orange, as I like that color and it's not too far from previous Vanagon schemes (air-cooled orange/cream). However, I saw a 4Runner Trd Pro the other day in their Solar Octane color. Me likes, but that might be a bit much. As you can see, our future AI overloads didn't get it quite right, but you get the idea.

I tried Porsche Shark Blue, a great color, but it just doesn't do it for me either (I like the Solar Octane better)..

Anyone have some ideas? I'd like to keep it two-tone, but perhaps it's just not in the cards. Even with newer paint colors, it just seems dated to me (not in the cool nostalgic way). Thanks!

I spent much of the Winter dong a little resto/mod of our '88 Avion 34X, before heading out on a 6k mile adventure. Diesel expense was brutal, but we're back at work and wishing we were out there on the road. Well, expect for Wyoming (that ice and wind and interstate closures suuuucked).
