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:

is a close match to the Interlux white. It's less money and should hold up fine.
