Stonkin Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 I wanted something different. Everyone goes with blue colour schemes normally it seems. I chose red hoses because it seemed few people had them, i then wanted something to contrast well with red and stand out and i've seen so few of these painted white, infact i think the only pic i found was on a NA. So a colour scheme of red, white (japanese!) and chrome I very nearly did them red but i didnt think it would have the same effect Anyone else got any ideas with lacquer?

Ark Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 My experience with laquer is that it dulls the colour. It's not in an abrasive atmosphere, just leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
