cowboy had his coil pack cover lime green originally and I think it look too much all the same colour, his looks better with the chrome as a contrast. maybe get a spare and paint up both so you can see which looks best

the plenum would probably look pretty good in yellow too as well as the strut brace

I think it would look best with the rocker cover black, with yellow writing and a yellow coil pack cover. but then again its not my car.... either way it will look nice and shiny and clean

The Black lettering doesn't look as good as I thought it would.. hmmm, would red lettering look crazy with the yellow or maybe polished is the way to go?? looks like you did a great job though, well done

what paint did you use Sam?? if you used hammerite apparently it takes about 6 months to cure properly and would stay gummy underneath. i have tried sanding it before and it was a nightmare

No, this was commercial standard paint from the local body shop suppler.
I started painting it and thought my god this yellow is horrid, hi vis style. So I added some gloss black to the mix. All looked good under strip lites, under day light there was a defoliant green tinge to it (cowboy would have loved it!)
So I went to sand back tonight and repaint, the lacker although cut back a lot just caused the paint to run about and not set. it was a hard desesion to make but it was going to be less peeing about me taking it back to metal than not being happy with it once on the car

Mine needs rubbing down and another couple of coats of paint and a couple of coats of laquer putting on it. It looks better in the flesh to be honest, very pearlescent, it's Ford Electric orange as on the focus ST's, bit garish but wanted to be different!!!
