Either way just get a paint match done because paint fades. :roll:

A very nice job you're doing. It's giving me ideas for doing my SWB bus :wink:

Only one point that I would have done differently. I think I would have either Limo tinted or painted the back windows with the grills. It stops people having a nosy in the rear of the vehicle and what is not seen is not coveted. :)

yeah you're right limo tint would have been great and that was the plan only money and time ran out :( Now i'm just gonna make up some black curtains to hang down over the mesh when there's stuff in the back. I'm gonna make up mesh for the other rear windows and it's pretty tuff stuff and i''ve got good padlocks for the back and side doors. The bulkhead door will also be padlocked from the inside :)

Just drove this van 2600miles to spain and back with two motorbikes 3 adults,2kids and all our camping gear!! It sat at 65/70mph all the way and didn,t complain once (not even on the high mountain passes of the pyrenees!!) The only problem was i had to use a crowbar to get the van out of my arse at the end of the trip :shock: :shock:

The paint looks like gentian blue, on the Mk2s the paint code is BK, don't know how long that code carried on though, but the shade is the same.
