G'day

I saw a pimple get popped the other night on TV. I am fairly sure that was the colour.
The problem I have is that most of my stories end with... and that is why I am not allowed to go back there!

Checked the old girl out in the panel shop 2day. After being sanded back its a very different shade than my profile pic. Way more bright yellowish. The right rear window hole is being filled in to accommodate some artwork and in a day or 2 shes going Devil Yellow from the Holden Monaro. Its a colour for business purposes. Lucky Ive got 2 more vans to choose other colours lol
What do you guys think for mags? Ive got mint Tridents (Jellybeans I think you Aussies call em?) or Turbos to add more black & break up the Yellow? It will have all black tinted windows except the right side rear aswell

If you are going the yellow of the monaro, why not look at the wheels that are on the monaro. I normally like classic, but with that yellow, i think those wheels, and maybe a bit of yellow pinstripe to bind the 2. Make sure you give us plenty of pics of the respray.

G'day
Here is a yellow van and by the look of the stickers on the bonnet it looks factory original:

Have a "sniff" around the paint section in this site.
check out the HK Monaro video while you're there.

may as well check out VW as well.  :P
