    Opinions please

    Started my bay change tonight. Decided to go for black car and green induction hoses etc. Got some paint and decided i was gonna do the wheels green also. Bold move i thought so decided to test the colour on my strut brace. What do you think. (Bearing in mind iv NEVER painted anything before lol)
    Quick rub down first

    Then primed

    Then painted!

    Thats me makeshift oven lol
    Found a sticker fromy my bike lying around so decided to try it


    Then onto the car. Please remember il be changing the vacuum hoses and piping to green as well so i know it looks a bit crap at the moment!

    Sorry bout the quality of the last pics :thumbup:

    It's a decent job but not sold on the black and green.. I had a white GT and had green hoses, calipers and fuse box etc in Green and it looked a bit much after I had finished. There wasn't too much but I just decided I wanted a subtler colour.. You hopefully won't but that's my experience with Green!

    I agree it can easily start to look a bit much with green. Its a hard colour to judge but im gonna go for it. Only little bits of green here and there. Plus the engines coming out soon to clean the bay and rebuilt the engine. So il probably go mostly black with just a few green parts. Wonder if green HT leads r available?

    If you change just the vac hoses and the 2 blue samcos i think it will look alright. Oh and paint the rocker cover black or something
