No, according to the compiled lists I've found Dove Blue Metallic was only used on Westys from '87 to '89, all with the Steel Gray top made by Westfalia. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=527875 It was used on earlier tin-tops though. When most people do a re-paint they just paint the whole van, top included, the same color, which isn't correct. I'm not doing a complete respray. I'll see if they can custom tint something.

Interesting. I thought all dove blue Westfalias (1984 and down right?) had white tops?
