Is this Right?

This Burb is on Ebay right now and I'm wondering if the top half of the barn doors ( realizing it has been repainted ) should be painted the same color as the roof as this just doesn't look right ( original ) to me?

Re: Is this Right?

It has always been my opinion that the painted white top extends to just below the bottom of the rear glass.

Yes, below the rear glass to the body line.

Re: Is this Right?

There were two factory two-tone schemes. One like the pic that vectorit posted, and one where the hatch/doors got no white and the white top stopped at the seam at the top of the C-pillar.

Re: Is this Right?

Well, my paint scheme wasn't a factory option (but it shoulda been), but I agree that the color of the top should extend to below the rear windows

Re: Is this Right?

Yeah here's mine, I kinda think it looks better with the paint line being below the windows...
