Colour coded pop tops

[Pike]

Does anybody have any picture of bays with poptops that are not white. I'm thinking of painting my Bay orange below the belt line, anthracite above it and doing the roof orange but I'm not sure whether it would look right if I painted the Dormy pop top orange aswell.

My poptop is off white..(L87 pearlwies) and looks great.

yeah I think that would look good painting it to match the roof. like the idea of the anthracite around the windows.

Just been having a play with Busselecta and paint, I've come up with this which roughly what I had in mind.

A guy up here did it and it works really well, this of course is a Westy 72.5 model...

All the best! Hope this gives you an idea!

I think colour choice is down to personal taste,personally I wouldn't use anthracite but if I had to I would paint the roof and pop top the same colour as the upper body colour.

Oh I mis-read that I thought you were talkin about the canvas... :?

I like stock Cloud White? But with that being said, to each Bus, his own driver! Remember though, alot can be said about whats up top.

Search and Rescue would be able to find you though in some cases! :lol:
