Still need a chrome front bumper? Can't tell how shiny it is from this pic, but if it can be buffed out the price is right

I know this is an old thread but I am finally getting my van painted so I thought I would post about it here and keep things organized. I am pretty sure I am going for gold with some sort of metalflake. Either a stripe of heavy flake or the whole van in small flake. I am also kicking around a few completely different ideas. The painter is going on vacation for 3 weeks in the middle of the project so I have a little time to decide.

Here are some shots of the work so far. He started welding up the trim and emblem holes on the one side. I am shaving everything and going with the sport mirrors instead of the larger trailer ready ones. He is also going to glass in the front spoiler.

Here is a shot of the paint scheme I am leaning towards. The base coat is PT Cruiser Inca Gold.

I have been going back forth on filling in the side windows. The body guy told me today he is afraid to weld in patch panels because of warping issues. I have heard it is a tough job. I think I am cool with the keeping the windows but a little bummed not to have the option. I think I will polish the aluminum frames and tint the windows dark. That should be cool.

PS You can see more photos in my Flickr Account

Cloudy is gluing in patch panels for my mid Ford, removing the crap camper windows, welding isn't always necessary.

glad to see progress on your van, must be exciting! i don't mind the look of your windows, plus its nice to open em up and get some fresh air in the summer. i think maybe even painting the window frames black would also look good. looking forward to seeing the outcome!
