Painting 65 bug -- OG colour or other colour?
Hey y'all, I'm finally at the point of being able to paint my 65 bug 40hp
I rebuilt the suspension, brakes, transmission, engine, everything got a nice refresh. No rust, no holes, new rubber, new wiring harness
The only thing I have for the interior is the headliner which is perforated white. I don't have the upholstery done yet or the side panels
Originally I was going to do a fully stock restoration, with everything as it came from the factory based on the paperwork I have for the car, but the og color is ruby red with grey/white interior. If I were keeping it I'd probably go for a full purist restoration, but unfortunately I'll have to sell it to cover my tuition and some of my surgery medical bills
So what colours (exterior and interior) would be most popular and likely to sell the best? I'd ideally try to keep it period correct because that's just the purist in me, but I'd be willing to go with other colours and materials if they have higher marketability/return
I've been fortunate that I inherited this vehicle for dirt cheap, and it's been in pretty good condition so I haven't had to put much into restoring this compared to other vehicles, other than the hundreds of hours of labour from myself and my friends
