Title: two colour paint Post by: Jonno on March 09, 2005, 11:09:36 AM Hi,
Shortly to be contemplating painting.... I like these two-colour paint jobs folk are doing (see composite photo) but don't quite understand what you do at the join (see arrows). There doesn't seem to be any natural break in the contour of the door i.e if you follow the colour back around the trim, down, around the base it comes up to join the white area without a break. So, where do you paint the join? anyone got any photos of the inner (hidden) part of the door showing this? thanks, Jonno ???

As seen on Hilda's door which was painted as per her orginal line the white breaks in line with the bottom of the dash and the blue in line with the black across the top of the dash. Can't say if this is right or wrong but thats were Hilda was to start with. Also my wagon that I am about to start striping is the same.Hope this helps.

I guess the part I don't understand is do you continue the white inside the bit of the door we can't see (where the hinges are) or is the panel we see the only white patch i.e what does the join look like at the door corner? thanks, Jon Title: Re: two colour paint Post by: Fast_Eddie on March 09, 2005, 11:46:59 PM Jonno,
Generally the paint stops just behind the curve of the face panel of the top of the door, but does not go around to where the hinges come out. You just need to ensure that the dash and door colour are continuous when the door is shut ie/ the windlacing covers the junction in the colours. Hope that makes sense, My advice - go single tone! ;D Edward Title: Re: two colour paint Post by: Jonno on March 10, 2005, 04:16:27 AM yep..that make sense.
