Original colour.

I have been thinking long and hard recenly and i have decided to re-paint my van. I am going to re-paint in her original colour which is a cream colour, my mate is going to paint her for me.
 
Go for it Andrew[8D] Your van looks pretty solid, hopefully your mate can do it justice.

" Green is an unlucky colour"
That always made me smile when I had the car site and we used to hear it a lot from mostly the older generation. My reply was always "what colour is your lawn and the leaves on your trees?" when the inevitable answer of green came back I used to say "do you have much bad luck at home?" That always stumped em!
Another favourite was " dont buy a red car as your more likely to have an accident in it" This was actually true but only because at the time there were a lot more red cars on the road than any other colour so statisticly you were more at risk but now its Silver cars you are more likely to have a crash in....but you dont hear " your more likely to have a crash in a silver car"
Another favourite was " its alright to leave it in, you cant pregnant the first time!" Happy days! :D:D:D:D

Bloody Commer`s!
 
HA HA you know m8. i actually like the green now lol

Hi paulcloke, i am going to scan my jack which is the original colour. So it will be as original as i can get it.
 
cool, usually a people inpaint shops have a good eye anyway so they can tell by eye, is your jack colour coded then? i thought they were all black or blue

Its highly unlikely that the jack was originally the same colour as your van, it would have been black or possibly blue because thats how they came from the factory. Yours may have been painted to match the colour of your van at some time in its long life so its a good idea to have it scanned for a match anyway but who would know that any beige was not the original?

What's left of the paint on Harvey's jack is a creamy sort of colour, the same as the inside of the panels - I always thought it was a basic factory colour before he went off to the converters for the final paint to be applied (originally a sort of blue-y green)

I guess the jack could have been painted at the same time as the van but its unusual to say the least, I have only ever seen black or blue [^]

My jack is cream and my van was cream (and blue) is this an Autosleepers thing[?]maybe.

back to my "rootes"
 
my autosleeper has a blue jack, but it could have been replaced in the past
