axis007 Report post Posted January 19, 2012 I have a 86 DD in pearl white, I am having the caulkings re-done. I was told the white color cars came with both white caulking and black caulking and both being correct. I have been looking at pictures of white Countach with both colors and a few even have black caulking around the wheel arches and white caulking around the hood area. I like to seek what the opinions are among the Countach owners. Please help. Thank You. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCow Report post Posted January 19, 2012 Seen it with both and think visually they are both satisfying. However, I have seen a dozen or so with white that had retained dirt and debris or were stained. I would think if you have a driver car black would suit you best. It's all a matter of personal opinion, however. I'm sure it will look great either way. If a guy told me he did not like my Countach because I had dirty caulk I would pull his man card .

The black made the car really stand out and IMO totally changed the look of the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grngryoutmyway Report post Posted January 21, 2012 I say black as well, the caulking lines on the CT add to the design IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabbe Report post Posted January 25, 2012 Isn't usually the black caulk bigger than the white caulk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleSeat Report post Posted January 25, 2012 I agree. When I started learning CTs in earnest, I noticed this right off the bat and started realizing that not all white cars were created equal. Seeing those cars (with the white caulk) really affirmed how good the black caulking on a white car looks. Pow! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUMN Report post Posted January 25, 2012 how do you get the old caulk off to change it to the black? can it be done at home or does a auto body shop have to work its magic on it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmr Report post Posted January 25, 2012 Ok so having a car that has caulking, the H1, what type do people use? There are some spots that could use a touch up. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowndaytona Report post Posted January 26, 2012 Black, Black, Black, That is why the Anniversary cars were never my favorites. No black accents Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
