Yesterday I painted the wheelarches with smooth Hammerite. Now when I jet wash the crud off, I am left with a protective painted surface :lol:

Correct! That's the only choice you have. There's a thread elswhere on logbook colours so I wont go into detail. My old Pug went down as Multi, that's how I knew :)

How important is it to notify the DVLA of the colour change? I guess the main problem would be when it came to selling if the van is registered White and the van is actually Lime green and Purple.
Current Transit: Mk8 tourneo Sport with go faster stripes.

Long time sold: Mk5 LWB 190, 2.5di banana SHR, 3 seats, SLD, Twin rear doors (rusted bottoms), manual locking & windows.

Best to register it or you could get hassled by the Police and you know they are on a mission to collect revenue :roll:
