Leave it in Primer and make it look like a work in progress.

Looks cool the way it is.

Gonna look cool, with that shape you can really cut sick with the colours and get away with it, more so than alot of other things as multi colours don't really suit most builds.(thats if your leaning that way) if not, will still look wicked with those spokes under it! getdown

......I settled on pimp-less paint to save me some headaches with this build, plus I'm a big believer in the less is more approach.

......anyway, I finally got some clear on this today and the motor has been done for a while,
"el Monte" Clearfront
"el Monte" Clearrear

still needs rubbing and polishing, and I'm yet to chose an interior colour??

With that body colour? Something in the golden brown or maybe ginger range would be my choice.

But then what do I know about colours? Very Happy

Needed to break out the shovel to find this thread Rolling Eyes


Slow progress but the body is polished and foiled, and the hoods been painted 4 times Crying or Very sad , I really need to get cracking on the interior so I can call this build done!!

Another cool build Paul. Wasn't sure about the colour, but with the trim on it looks great.
Now get cracking!
