Pipeing

[TMcNam4510@aol.com]

How does one go about getting the correct piping for the TC's if the color required is not in the catalogs? In example, Clipper Blue? Can anycolor piping be sucessfully painted? Thanks, Tom, TC2850 disassembled [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi Tom, The pipeing are not painted! You are killing the beauty of the coach work. I trial mounted mudguards etc before painting. The painter want the car to be complete to correct the shape and curves what the coach worker was not able to do. After putty work and first coat painting the mudguard bonnet door etc are dismantled and then the painter will do the final coat of paint. The pipeing will come before the final assembly. You may use black or some other colour to match the paint. I do not know what colour of piping they used for Clipper blue paint. You can stitch your pipeing with Rexene. This is only my personal view.

The US-based Volkswagen parts house "BUGPAC" has a line of solid vinyl piping in a vriety of colorrs. I like it because it IS solid, so cannot absorb water, and the color goes all the way through, so won't wear off/through. It's also quite inexpensive!!!
