ash, why not do a samco blue basecoat, to match ur pipes, then some kinda personal logo blown in a lighter pale blue which fades out to the darker blue.

or a contrasting colour like yellow or orange?

id be tempted to use a colour to split the blue up actually, like my engine bay is green and black, you should have blue pipes with a different engine cover..... posibbly orange would suit best........

its up 2 you!  :wink:

yeh there are quite a few vids on youtube for airbrushing, but none of them are helpful really........ they explain how something is done, but not how to doit ...... if you know what i mean???!

the best thing to do is just experiment yourself, and you'll see how its "easier said than done!"
