Hi I stole this image of the Internet
I'm thinking towards the paint job for my LH I like the black here, is the back strip painted or decal
And what LH models had this style, I assume a SLR 3300 or 4200

Not quite correct though. Black running under the window is too thick. It should be same depth as the window frame, then gap, and thin line, which leaves it about 10mm above the crease in the door. Also should stop about 10mm short of the join with the nose cone.

Here is a Side Shot of Jeff's Torana:-

From today's Forum Run - http://www.gmh-toran...e-3#entry828699

- which I think is correct with the pin stripe starting 20mm in from the front of the front guard. Dave I

Here are some pics Tony took before stripping Tracies car. It is an L32 SL/R, we didn't put the black along the bottom of the doors and across the back as Tracie didn't like it.

Passenger side guard.

Drivers front guard.

Front/rear passenger doors.

Rear passenger door.

Before and after..

.

Hope these are of any help.

Mmm, if I remember I will get some measurements, maybe some photos. Yella must be about due for a drive.

No lines coincide with the fold line.

Sorry, don't come in here much anymore.

Barbados Green. With regard to the black outs, I have seen quite a few variations on cars with original paint. I guess they were masked up by hand, and there is a good chance that no two are exactly alike.
