Hi All,

My van is going to be painted soon. Its currently baby blue (and will be again).

I have ordered big bumpers and square lights with eyebrow, I have had wheel refurbed and hiTop coming off then going back on.

The question is arround colour. I was thinking Black wheels to go with the smoked lenses and black fridge vents i purchased. Blue bumper with black strip Blue all over as well as the top.

My wife likes the idea of white HiTop and around the side windows and white wheels.

Choices, choices?

Thoughts would really help.

Here is Smurfy before going in.

Still no nearer to a decision.

White. Will look right.

Cheers for the T3 designer link guys, never seen it before, although not that it matters as i already have my paint sitting there waiting to go on, i think with the likes of pop tops and hi-tops they generally have to be white, tin tops you can kind of play about with the colour as the roofline is so small its more of an accent colour than a whopping great chunk of colour, as for body coloured i have seen some vans carry it off well and others not so much, probably depends on the colour of the body in the first place

Of course this is just my opinion, its your van and you can paint it pink with yellow mr blobby spots all over if you wanted!

Roof should be a lighter colour then the body of the van, Imo. I think hightops look best white.

I agree, so if it was my van I would go for either white or a very light blue.

Best left white IMHO and cleaned not painted unless it has been painted already
