Hi folks,

I've decided to get my '83.5 camper repainted!
Right now it is the stock '83/'84 vanagon two-tone blue.  I've pretty much
decided that I want to get it done in one color, a dark blue of some sort,
nothing too flashy.

I like some of the dark blue that i've seen on the ~2000 model year VW's,
but i don't know what the code or actual name is.  I don't have a huge
budget, and I'm thinking that many of the newer clearcoat and metallic
paints will probably be more expensive unfortunately...but I would like to
give my van a more modern look.

If anyone has any suggestions on specific colors or other things i should
watch out for at paint/body shops, I would really appreciate you sharing
them...I've never gotten a vehicle repainted before, but have done a bunch
of research already.

I am in the San Francisco Bay Area, so if anyone has specific shop
recommendations, that would also be most helpful.

thanks all!
will definitely share some pics when all is said and done.
