Nothing sexy here, just nine factory-style recolors for the VW Bug. I actually used period Ford Company swatches for the recols because I was too lazy to look for a VW factory swatch site. These are typical period colors for the Bug, including Bland Blue, Who-Cares Brown, and You're-In Yellow.

I wasn't real happy with the red recolor, so I decided to go ahead and find a VW Factory swatch site. This quest must have taken me, oh, at least two minutes. So I did six more recols in VW Factory colors from '65
to '72. As you can see, some of the differences are pretty subtle, but each recol will show distinctly in the game. The colors in both batches match actual VW production colors during the production run of the car.

Sorry, but the way this car was made only single-color recolors can be done, without stripes and decals.
