Thank all, its pops even more in real life. Yep we have decided to go with a fine gold pinstripe just to add that something. We mocked up silver and gold, but the silver got a bit lost, so we tried a couple of golds and came up with this one. That pic is just roughly hand-sprayed over the clear to get an idea of colour, so it will now get done properly and then cleared over so it's smooth. The idea in my head all along is a bit of a modern take on the classic dual colour scheme, the VW deluxe trim would look too heavy on it for my tastes. It's actually a custom candy colour, it's not on any regular car. Usually for hot rods etc.

Wait until the bling goes on, kinda the extreme opposite end to the Patina style

Wow, that looks factory fresh !! Be nice to have the 'dirty' work done i'd imagine. What a first bus you have done. What's those buttons on the overhead panel for ? Just couldn't zoom in enough to see ?
Liking your pinstripe too.
Cheers Linz

Cheers boys, we are super happy with how it's turning out. The pinstripe was the painter's idea.
