Two-tone Ghias
karmann54 - November 28th, 2009 at 07:25 PM

Now my house renos are sort of over, I'm looking to finally get my '63 Karmann painted and back on the road. Been over 5 years since I last drove her!

I'm looking to do a two-tone colour, does anyone have an original two-tone car to show exactly where the colours meet? Would appreciate some close-up photos at the base of front and back roof pillars so that I get it right.

Looking at either its original Pearl White with a black roof (it was white all over) or maybe the Emerald or Sea Blue with a white/cream roof.

Cheers

Angus

I have a late 1963 (1964 model year) two tone Ghia.

It is sea blue / blue white & I believe the paint is original.

It is in storage at the moment & I don't have time to photograph the pillars for a while, but I have some high resolution photos that show the areas concerned pretty well that I can email you. PM me your email address.
