That's really useful to know Alistair. I had a fun pop top colour choice conversation with female counterparts at a recent Wetwesty event. They were adamant that I should colour match (or similar) the pop top paint to my blue bus. i.e. NOT white. For Canadian folks, this paint in white: http://www.cloverdalepaint.com/contractor_professional/product.asp?code=111series is a close match to the Interlux white. It's less money and should hold up fine. Neil.
