from the factory, the whole car was painted the upper body colour, then only the outside of the lower body was painted the contrasting colour.

Ive split mine to match the outside, but you could easily change at the seam on the doors and it would look right.

All the ones I've seen have been painted the body colour all over, then had the white added to the top.

Mine is bottom colour so that when you look in the gap in the doors you see the same colour.

Another photo op.

Cheers

I agree, that's factory spec (for Bay) as best I could find when I did mine. Was a few grey area's around doors where colour changed though.
