he had asked the painter to do it ignition, the VZ/VE colour and this is what they gave him. about 20 millions shades darker than ignition. I reckon it looks better this colour than it would as ignition. i had a really good look at stripes and I could swear they are stickers that have been cleared over. they were raisied really high off the base colour. either way a great van and a really great bloke that owned it.
