First time campervan owners and fell for the two tone look straight away. Only have it a couple of weeks so looking forward to getting out and about over the next while.

the side bars are standard VW supplied items.

I have two and they both say the bottom colour.

Hi. My 2017 T6 is Grape Yellow on bottom and Indium Grey (top). Looks better than it sounds !

Why did vw stopped that colour combinaison on the t6.1? They are useless

 

[gvick]

Washed twice two buckets method
Then clay bar
Then washed again and hand dried
Finally polish with autoglym by hand
3:1/2 hours later.....now I need to clean the Cali

Best colour combination. Not that keen on wrap but I would imagine a good body could paint the lower part in red quite easily? Anyone has done this? Only worry would be stone ships leaving a white mark?

Stone chips on any paintwork will show the base primer or bare metal depending on the severity of the chip, properly keyed and applied paint would be the same as factory.
A stone chip is a stone chip, by its very nature it breaks away the clear coat at best and at worst down to the metal

I had a scratch touched up recently and the scratch technician told me they start off as a candy white van all over and then as @Perfectos says they add primer and the cherry red - so the bottom half of the van ends up with nearly double thickness of paint that the top half as. Mine hasn’t chipped stall on the red part

Bit late to the party, but here’s ours ..... with a couple of stablemates in reflection!

I've had the reverse experience on two of mine. The slightest stone chip or scratch reveals the white underneath.

Sadly it doesn’t look like this anymore, someone kindly clipped the rear when I was parked up (they didn’t leave details) so it now looks like this. Having a wrap does add a layer of complexity when getting it fixed but on the whole I still love it!
