I just went through all this with the Crate.... get your beading from Marks bug Barn, I rather suspect that your source is the same kit but the Marks kit I have here and it looks like the one I was so happy with when I did the Notch years ago. it has the various different peices for the different applications and such but you may consider NOT painting it. Paint on plastic is very prone to peeling, even with a flex agent, and I found that the Black beading on even the Red car wasnt that offensive... I soon forgot about it. If your going dark blue again it shouldnt stand out too much. As for the side moulding, your getting the wide 66 stuff right? GO STAINLESS!!! ISP is only $50 more for thier stainless kit and as cheap a Bastard as I am I still think its the best extra $50 youll ever spend... MUCH better look and MUCH more durable! Do have them dig in and check to make sure the kit they are sending you is correct for having or not having the side marker lights.... most of the kits out there, at least the aluminum ones are mismarked.

With Sophy getting close to being painted, her old dinged up side trim just won't look right with the fresh new paint. Just wondering about the quality of the trim and the end treatments. > > http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=C16%2D311%2D111 > > > They also offer a fender beading kit specific to Type 3s with 3 different profiles for the various parts of the interface. It is only in black, but I am sure I could paint it to match Sophy's new coat of paint. Some of her original VW Blue beading is just in really rough shape...cracked and discolored.
