Hey everyone

Roadster finally goes to paint next week!!!

I want to make sure I get the stripes correct, so does anyone know where I could get a template or the exact dimensions??

Roadster will be slate metallic with light grey metallic stripe - very excited!!


Thanks

Mike

I supplied the diagram below to my painter, and he used as a general guideline for my Mk3. In the end, still some judgment and finesse required. These links have more info and suggestions.

Mike,

I am considering a darker grey with silver stripes. I'll be looking forwad to seeing some pics.

You would think 10 years later, I would have had the colors picked out long ago.
