Rob_Mitchell Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 hi peeps im going to re-paint my cam belt covers again tomorrow but not sure on what colour i have 3 ideas- 1) lamboughini orange- same as car but would this be too much? and would it look tacky? 2) candy apple red- as all my bolts and other bits under the bonnet are red, so this might work, not sure. 3) gloss black or metalic black- would look good against the chrome i suppose. really not sure i guess i could mix all together and make a turd colour then i get the best of all 3 lol. what do you think??

miko_supra Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Do what ever you want to do. Its only a cam cover, so if you dont like it you can easily repaint it. I'm tempted to go for a yellow theme under my bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 i know its only a cam cover but its more work if i change my mind all the time. its not a case of painting them then there down, you got to strip them, prime them, flat them down, paint them, clear coat, flat and polish, done.. so i would rather not do them loads of times lol. has anyone got pics of theres?? thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 i can get that done.. that would look cool but not sure as i have no other carbon bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 i can get that done.. that would look cool but not sure as i have no other carbon bits. Wrap the fan shroud as well perhaps Blue always looks nice but not sure with an orange car This was mine, must say i much prefer black and carbon now, trouble with chrome and polished is the keeping it clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 that looks mint really nice. yeah blue wouldnt go with mine but yours looks spot on mate, like that alot. yeah tell me about it all the polished stuff takes ages to clean but when done looks amazing. the chromed bits are better to clean.
