.AJ. Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Yea it's good to be different sometime, that's why I've got a set of these decals on the way... Im still undecided on the colour yet tho, either stock red or black 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Yep that's what I'm thinking at the mo, the black and the colours in the decals will tie in well with the yellow/red on the chassis Edited February 21, 2016 by .AJ.

PraetoR Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Oops, I'm probably too late, but I was going to suggest metallic gun-metal colour. Think that would go well with your decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Done a good job of the driver, he's enjoying it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be popping into Halfrauds in the next few days to check out some paint, a black or dark grey with some metallic flake would look cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the picture you put up of them you can see the edges look pretty rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Easy, fit the decals and weather the rough bits with a bit of dust or rust. easy fix and looks good too. had my mb since last Nov and it's not been out yet..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yep I'm pretty happy with the colour, I did want Ford Galaxy blue like the Orion Ghia I had when I was 18, but this was the closest I could find, one full coat done now, I'll let it harden for a week, wet sand it and shoot a final coat and then clear it when I'm 100% happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
