Hey everyone! I have a 1982 ac 2.0l high top which is in dire need of a respray! I just cant think of any good colour scemes for high tops! Does anyone have any ideas or pics or anything? cheers

best to have it the same colour as the van i recon...

Agree with Rob, mine has the standard white top and looks like an icecream van

go two tone like mine

I'm considering a two-tone camouflage job like Kev's.
You can't hide the ugly thing, but you can make it look a bit less obtrusive by leaving the top part in white or pale grey to be camouflaged against the sky, and emphasising the lower half by making it body-colour, or with stripes.

My camper is dark red, with a slightly creamy-white high top, so was thinking of raising the red to include the lower part of the roof (to below the roof windows), then pale grey above that, and matching grey to the lower body panels (the bit between the wheels that was plastic planks on the later models). That should reduce the impact, whilst introdung a bit of an 80's Audi Quattro theme (in my sad mind at least).

just dont go all green!!!

What so you can hide in a false leg factory?

Did Guinness pay for your two tone pep?

What about a nice red stripe around the high top (& another around the van if it is white) a la Trinity House stylee.

Get it colour matched. Makes it look like less of an add on IMHO.

I know it a bit like an add for a diet product where the sad looking fat girl get slim but also get new clothes, hair, make up and a smile, but you get the idea.

I did mean a colour scheme for the whole van tbh but the roof ideas are good i was just going to leave it white!
