Anyone running blue paint?

Huh? how d'you mean?

you have a long numberplate, not sure about the lid, diferences between early and late

Don't want to take over mginty's thread but can anyone tell me if I have the wrong engine lid fitted for my year (1970)?? I've always presumed it's the original one cos of the colour/condition. The lock is the type that doesn't take a key (it's just a push in "button").

I'd like a square rear number plate but the oblong one covers the holes that were drilled to fit the original US plate

I am considering painting the bottom half of my 71 Westy Bus L227 Strato Silver. Has anyone ever seen one in that color? I would love to see a pic.

Sea Blue with Lotus White roof, Bumpers & Wheels, by the way Sea Blue was not a standard Bay colour as my Van was originally Lotus White, my last Bay was in Neptune Blue which was a bit plain Jane compared to the one I got now .

Here are the colors, but the swatches don't represent the colors well in this list.
