 Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2013 2:47 pm Post subject: New Berrien Metalflake |
 |
|
I am looking at buying a Berrien body for my buggy but can't decide on a color. As an Illini fan I am partial to dark blue or orange. Berrien was nice enough to send some swatches of fiberglass with the colors, but the regular gelcoat dark blue seems much darker than I thought and the orange is a little too flat.
The metalflake in cobalt blue and tangerine orange might be a little more flake than I am wanting too, but it is hard for me to picture on an entire buggy.
Anyone have pics of a Berrien Buggy in Cobalt Blue Metalflake? Tangerine Orange? Dark Blue? or Orange? If so, I would greatly appreciate looking at the pics! I hope to make my decision soon. |

There are plenty of examples of 'flake Buggies on the Vegas Buggies website, I'm guessing they'll be getting their supplies of flake from the same source.

Besides anything for upholstery, I try to provide anything a buggy guy would want or need. As you know I also like producing stuff for the buggy like tops, carpets, scuff guards and such. Too bad the market is so small.
