    1 - I have a couple of these kits. The print is Perfect! good alignment, But. The outer colour (plum/pink) is a bit too bright compared to the NOS sample we have. They still look great! In my opinion better than original haha! BUT they are not original. So I will drop these down to $450 a kit! CHEAP AS for the quality.

    DY1 - Orange, Brown, Dark Brown
    1 - Full kit good print good alignment etc. But there is a hair in one for the stripes. Will do this kit for $450. again a very good price for this quality print!

    G'day Jason, just wanted to ask what is the approx. shelf life of the kits... I wont be needing stripes for a couple of years yet. Can they be stored for a certain length of time?

    Cheers Max

    Defiantly can be mate. Some of these kits I have had for a couple of years. They are still perfect. Aslong as they are stored in a cool try place. Stored flat is best. But if you cant stored rolled up in a large diameter is best. (about 200-300mm). Just need to be kept cool and obviously dry and out of sunlight. (not that the colours will fade in the sun as they are screen printed) but you don't want the sun to effect the glue.

    OK, thanks for that. Also have another question.... with my limited computer skills, I haven't been able to locate a list of paint colours sandmans were painted & their respective stripe options. (tailking HX-HZ). Is there somewhere on the interweb that has a colour chart of what was out there from new?

    cheers Max

    There isn't Max. But I do have a list. If you can let me know a colour your thinking I can tell you what stripes it had (recommended by GMH)

    Or if you like a curtin stripe combo. I can let you know what colour paints go with those stripes

    No sure what ex Prime Minister John Curtin had to do with Sandman stripes? Probably very little that's for certain!

    Curtin
    /ˈkɜːtɪn/
    noun
    1.
    John Joseph. 1885–1945, Australian statesman; prime minister of Australia (1941–45)

    I have a HX van in Persian Sands, & without wanting to insult anyone, saying I just don't like the colour at all. So short of finding a different original coloured van, I am looking at changing the colour scheme to something a bit louder, hence just seeing what was out there originally. It will be a occasional driver/weekend cruiser & definitely not worried about concourse (ie. has twin light front & yellow needle dash as that's what I like) but want it to be original sandman option colours with stripes. So far an Orange or Green is all that jumps out at me, but wanted to do an informed decision.

    thanks Max
