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?
