HX Deauville Blue Met. with DY2 stripe?

Does this seem weird to anyone else?

DY2 doesnt seem right for such a dark colour......

Has anyone ever seen an original with this colour combo stripe? Or seen a Deauville Blue with a different colour combo?

Where did this info come from mate?

It would not be uncommon to hassle the dealer when ordering and get a different decal set.

From the info you have on here mate =)

Also I have had it for a while from another member here. Linked in with other records etc from others.

It just doesn't seem right for "what holden recommended"

NOTE I just edited original post to have HX as this is the model im discussing.

Ok I see your point. The paint code and matched decals were collated and cross referenced from Absinth, HZSandman and Mr.Jones' records.

If someone comes forward with documented proof what the HX D.Blue was recommended or any other colour I'm happy to look into it.

Yeh I got my info from the same guys.

It just dont seem right. But I dont know either....

Unlike HQ and HJ..... HX and HZ came from the factory with the stripes fitted so would most probably be what the Holden factory colour combo specified. Only some colours were available with optional stripe combinations like Absinth Yellow.. DY1 and DY2. All were available with delete stripe option DL7.

I don't think it looks too bad, does look better in the flesh on fresh paint.

What other HX decal would go with the blue???? Probably why they introduced DY4 and DX5 in the HZ range to better compliment the paint colours.

I thought DY2 was what deauville blue was meant to have in HX? I have a set of DY2 here waiting to go on deauville blue because I thought that was the correct combination?

Yes all sounds like it is correct. Its one of those things. Like you said Sean I guess there was no better combo in the HX range.

Ah all good just me getting confused! haha :errf:
