Hey, mine was green once. Fortunately, someone had the good sense to spray it a lush shade of blue  :D

LOL all!  I promise I wont change the colour! Ok?  ;D

It's been a battle with the arches though just to get the look it has.  I wanted a pukka job done and I paid a fair amount to get them done too.

As you've seen in the projects section, the car is nowhere near finished, a long and fruitful partnership this car and I have.  Estimate about 18 months till its finished.  But then as some have said, is it really finished then??

I'd like a few sets of wheels so I can change the look if I get bored or whatever.

Thanks for all the nice comments people.  Makes it worth while when people like what you've done.

Colour coded.  Hmm, the more I think about it the more i'm tempted.  Would save the messing with bumper black.  ;D

I'll get it all done when she has paint, don't worry OE colour! :P

Ive seen some colour coded arches that have flexed and then the paint cracks. Might want to think about that?

^^ means it wasnt smoothed and primed properly, Needs a nice thick coat of plastic primer under it to stop that one happening ;)

Exactly right there mate,  like most things if the job hasnt been done right in the first place then over time will look crap  ;)

My arches have been smoothed, sprayed and i would never have it any other way now  :)
