2 tone Candy White / Bay leaf Green DVLA registration document question V5

[Campervanpup21]

Hi, anyone out there with a candy white / bay leaf green T6.1 that can help with a DVLA registration document V5 question please?

Does your V5 give the colour as Green or as the two tone Candy White & Green?

Thanks for your help. Great forum and all the knowledge of the members & kindness.

What is the base colour IE inside the doors and under the bonnet, that is the colour that should be on the v5, although dealerships can get it wrong

Mine is green inside and green in the registration cert.

 

[PopsEllsDaisMollMegs]

Mine is green on the V5.

 

[Graham Winders]

My V5 says white as per the base colour.

 

[Boomer]

Mines green

Can’t remember offhand but mine is only one colour on the V5 (it’s white and green too).

As a side note I think the paint is not up to previous VW quality……. Chips easily

Edit: just checked the V5 and its green (although the base colour is white!)

Thanks everyone for your replies, I was concerned as it only stated green but it seems normal to be one and either white or green
It’s white under the bonnet but green inside the doors! Looks like VW mix n match

Ours is the same - green inside doors etc., and Green on the V5. Out of interest, some 2 tone vans start as white, with a colour overspray. I saw exactly this on a site about 2 years ago with another green/white van. We compared where the differences were when the vans were practically side by side. I guess the V5 info comes from the manufacturers VIN coding, so if it starts its life as a white panel van, it will be recorded as being white, etc.

Mines Starlightt blue and white but is blue on the log book and white under the bonnet so I’m assuming white base van, and yes the blue paint does chip very easily……

If the second colour is oversprayed then quite possible it went on direct and not onto primer

Ours is green on the V5, as mentioned, that is our base colour. Some have white as the base colour hence why they can also be white.

As far as I'm aware all 2 tones start as a single colour then the top or bottom is sprayed the 2nd colour onto of the single colour.

Our base van is Ascot Grey - the log book says Grey. The bonnet is white though, inside and out.
Curiously whilst the front doors are both ascot grey inside and the upper has been painted white over, when the dealer managed to chip the lower grey portion of the door it was white underneath but guess that was the primer coat even though it looked candy white.

Yes that’s right. It’s what makes the 2 tone option so expensive.

Mine was a white base vehicle, V5 was recorded as green
