 Posted: Thu Jun 13, 2019 4:42 pm Post subject: Silver white color and bus depot overiders |
 |
|
I bought the aftermarket overiders from busdepot. The quality seems pretty good. I’m not so sure on the color. I’ll be painting my bumpers so don’t mind painting the over riders again. Is it supposed to be a cream color? Check out this photo of it on white paper. I don’t have a good reference for the original color so I wonder what y’all think. I’ve read a lot of the threads on silver white but most just talk about the formula. Should I have paint made to match this overiders or is there a more correct color?
Also, does anyone know of a thread that shows the various hardware on the over riders? Are there special spacer washers or anything? Does anyone have photos of where on the bumper to install? Measurements?
Thanks!

by code it is on the warm side, but that looks too yellow...could be the pic. the real color is closer to paper white, but not quite

| The guy making these is from France. Match your paint code. Nice to see Ron is making these available. All of the hardware is repopped as well. Contact the guy directly on the Samba. Why you would only offer the fiberglass overriders with no instructions or hardware? That is totally bush league BS. But at least Ron bought a few sets. |
