Which colour coachline

Post by 1972TCCOUPE » Mon Jun 09, 2014 7:53 pm

Time for new coachlines on the Mumford. According to the chart they should be kelp or saddle.The interior will end up navy. What are these colours in Dulux terms? I believe the original was gold which could be kelp?
The next question is what size and which way up,and lastly how were the ends finished? Lots of questions,but I want to get in right.
Cheers

I measured my original lines and got the same dimensions from some in Halfords!
I think the Jubilee were the other way up to other TC or were the saloons all the same and the coupes different?
Early cars were also painted on and not stick on.

I used photos of Jubilees to work out where they finished. Some cut them before they go in the door shuts and others curl them in to the door shuts. I find putting a small amount of clear coat on the ends stops them peeling off :thumbup:

I bought some 3mm tape to make the jockey stick shapes on my Coupe.
