From just the few words you've just posted, sounds like your dad is a talented man. Although he'll be doing the work, i encourage you to be involved in as much as you can- refer to previous paragraph

being that you'll be changing the color, just make sure you all remove your hood, fenders, as much as you can remove, to assure excellent results. And don't forget the flex agent, which is a must for our car's plastic fenders. Again, research is one of your biggest tools, so get all the knowledge you can about paint, body prep and all that good stuff

keep us posted on your beetle's paint adventure.

oh, i see you all live in lakeland.... Howdy fellow floridian- jacksonville fl here You and the family will have to join us for the gtg's that we have. We travel well and would love to meet up with you, your family and your bug

Hi there! I found this for you:
Painting Martha Pink!
It is a link to someone on the org who has actually done this themselves! it looks like hers came out great and im sure you could always ask her any questions on how she did it and the process she took to get to that cute looking beetle! good luck!

I agree with Blugg... wrap it but only after dealing with the dents n scratches
..

I'm planning on wrapping mine from yellow to matte military green in the next few months
