| | | Painting my 77 Maxi | Joined: Sep 2015 Posts: 54 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Sep 2015 Posts: 54 | I need some opinions. I need to repair a bunch of rust spots on my van. I'm thinking of doing it, and painting the main color (the sandy color) black in order to make the orange stripe and the mural pop. Should i try to restore it to how it originally came or should i go with the black? thanks for the opinions

Would be cool to keep original but I like what I want. It's yours so think about what you really want and do it. Black would look awesome I think | | | Re: Painting my 77 Maxi | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,463 Likes: 12 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,463 Likes: 12 | I think black would be sweet, and would do just what you want by having the stripes and mural stand out.
Of course I'm just slightly biased, as I'm painting my Dodge Maxi black as well! ;)
Take a few more pictures of the murals sometime; it's fun seeing them up close!

Some fool tried to w wax the van and then didn't take it off. I got it all cleaned off, the paint actually looks good. The mural's really grown on me now
