LWB rear door arches on two tone GQ - pictures needed
Hello everyone!
I am in the process of repainting my two tone 1997 LWB GQ and I am in doubt if the lower color coming from the rear of the car "folds into" the second row door arches when the doors are open.
For example, my GQ is blue top with yellowish gray lower sections (a few centimetres above the door cladding and from there it goes up and around the fenders). Since the rear/second row door has the arch to the rear wheel well and the lower color comes from the door cladding into the rear wheel arch, I donīt know if with the door open all I should see is blue or maybe the yellowish gray will be there on the lower part as well. I mean, on the inside part of the door arch.
Hard to explain
Anyway, can someone with a two tone painting LWB around that year help me enlighten this with a couple of pictures of the side of their GQ with the second row door opened?
From factory they were not colour coded. They are grey.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
G'day mate,I've got the same colour gq,I can get you some pictures tomorrow.
Can you put up a picture of exactly what section you want a picture of ?
This is not my picture, but what I am looking to understand is if this part of the rear door arch is single color (using the top color, which in my case is blue) or if it should be dual color as well, just like the outside of the car. PaintQuestion.jpg
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS AFTER!!! I see that on the very low section, on the footsteps, the lower color actually folds up a little bit. That should be easy enough to mask.
