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.
