What colour to paint t25??

Post by samanthajane »

Hi, looking for a bit advice. We've bought a t25 hightop camper and are going to give it a new paint job, but stuck on colours. was thinking of keeping the top white or cream and then painting the bottom another colour. Anyone got any suggestions or photos of others?? Any help would be appreciated..thanks

Big decision picking what colour. Also whether to go metalic or none metalic? We went for metalic in the end as the respray guy said it was easier to matchup if you ever had to respray just one panel etc...

Not white, never white!!

Purple!!!

Perhaps Orange or Yellow also. I've never seen a shocking pink one, perhaps you could be the first? They look nice in coulours, as opposed to white or biege like a caravan :P
