    Hi All

    Got a customer who wants Herbie Stripes, I got dimensions etc for the stripes but wanted to know if anybody knows the closest vinyl colours to use?

    cheers

    xgraphics advertise Herbie kits for £70. Ther’s a pic on there website, maybe the colours could be matched from there. Saying that, they are selling them for £70?

    does it really matter Warren?
    its blue and red
    more than likely the same as the us flag,
    but who would know any difference? dont you think you are being to precise?
    BTW it is difficult to get the stripes straight on a bug,

    I can see your concern Warren, and as a result I have been looking into this closely, the number 57 is definitely 100% black 😕

    yes being a bit precise but that’s just me 🙄 :lol1: Just thought I would try get as close to the correct colour as possible instead of just winging it but no it won’t make much difference.

    It’s actually going on a VW van and no numbers, just the stripes.

    Who ever said it doesn’t hurt to ask 😉 :lol1:
