Im sure we have discussed this many times Bob. Back in the day there was more than one place printing the stripes. So there was variations of colours. So there is a chance mine are different to what your remember 30 years ago. My DY2 we got the sample colour from a guard that was removed in 1980 off a HZ so the bloke could fit GTS guards. Be stashed in the shed ever since. Photo below to show we have them exact.

Its also very possible that HX/HZ colour of the DY2 stripes was different slightly. afterall this was a 4-5 year stint of the same stripes being printed. There is a chance that extra store stock was a different shade also.... Impossible now to know sadly.

A photo if you get one taken. Will not be the colour in the flesh obviously. Digital images depending on the computer/screen and also camera will change colours in a big way.

Saying that if you ever did want a darker colour printed then let us know. We can do once off prints. Its not a simple thing to do with screen printing! that's for sure! But it can be done at a cost....

Hi Jason, I have seen the colour of the stripes. David Smith (Graffix Unlimited) had a set there and they are a long way off what mine were. He has seen several photos of my van and he is going to make me a custom set.

No worries mate.

**bobsmith380** · 03-03-2015, 10:18 PM

Do you still get your stripes from David??

No bob we don't. While what we where getting before was good. We have spent hours and huge $$ sourcing a new supplier. That can consistently produce high quality work. With less errors.

The kits cost us more then they used to. (we haven't upped our price though) So obviously the change was for a better product ;)

See how we go. I don't have any at the moment. We are about to do a big print run of them before the nats we hope. There shouldn't be any "error sets" but will keep it in mind incase there is one.

In the meantime I will get a list together of all "error" kits or pieces we have. There is a few pieces from over the years we have been doing these now!
