Glanza-Ben Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Do it a different colour so it stands out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollieh17 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 I was thinking of a gun metal grey. I have blue hoses and a few blue bits on the engine etc so didnt wanna go ott with blue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 my idea so far been black hoses. purple inlet/gold fuel rail and another colour for the rocker cant decide. gonna powercoat boost pipes and such black to hide them all in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmymac101 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 yeh seen that! Greens not for me though, either gonna be gun metal or blue i thinkI wasn't suggesting green as that's super bright and in your face ( personally I love it ) but coloured bays are the way forward James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Doin are bay vxr blue eventually, my friends engine bay is cream and smoothed nd his car is brown, calls it cookies and cream Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Done the bay on my glanza luminous/pearl candy pink and i think it looks immense. i've also dont the bay on my GT advance in the standard 205 black but mega regret not doing it a bright colour. nice surprise when you pop the bonnet! Do enjoy spraying engine bays, but you will always get some area that reacts/doesn't go quite right due to the nature of having oily/coolant residue. I didn't do much prep at all in either bay and they both came out reasonable. the battery tray on the glanza wouldn't play ball no matter what i did but at the end of the day the battery will cover it!
