So is this correct when painting the boot lid or should you be able to see body colour through the spoiler key hole?

Cool, thanks Dave.
So like above? We're thinking a strip the height of the keyhole on the boot lid.

From memory my mates Brisbane built XU1 just had a square of black paint around the keyhole.

With his boot lid up you could see the lip of the boot lid was Patina Gold and the spoiler just covered it so the body colour didn't show with the boot lid closed.

Hi

 

The boot lid for both Adelaide and Brisbane was pretty much as it appears in # 28 except it should only be about 1" above the key hole.

 

Cheers
