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 don´t 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 Bang Head

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?

Cheers from Brazil.

From factory they were not colour coded. They are grey.

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.

I have been painting blue-only sections and it is coming out sweet. In a few weeks will start the sides where the two tone thing gets into play.

This is how the roof is looking:

This is how the hood/bonnet is looking:

Agreed mate.
I think in early series 1's up to end of 91 only the St and ti's were colour coded and after then I think only dx were grey

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.

Thanks a lot mate, you are legend!

What do you guys mean with color coded? You mean the interior being gray?

He just means that the guard was painted with the same code as the body or lower body in two tone case. In some cases the guards just came out factory raw.
As you can see this was my first gq, the guards are raw. My second was dark metallic grey and the guards were matching.

Oh, I see. I thought guards on matching the color was maybe due to base model vs top model and not years.

Thanks for the info!

No worries at all mate.
If you Need any more pics just ask
