Yep!


And if you want you can mix colours too!
usual colour rules apply, like red & yellow will make orange etc.

Was only a for instance mate! :laugh:

Yours is same as mine - mystic blue.
The standard hammerite blue is a bit off that so maybe add some red maybe black to darken it like.


Oh and in case you ask my calipers are gold to match the wheels! :grin:
