Painting the engine cradle

Morning gents

Quick silly question but might as well being a Friday.

Just about to paint my engine cradle for my black indy and have a few paints in the garage and was wondering on what choice sounds best.

Black
2 metallic silvers
1 candy red
1 candy yellow
1 candy blue
1 flip paint looks a dirty gold and when hit with sunlight turns glittery yellow and blue.

I also have some chav multi colored flakes that you add to the clear coat.

The black is not an exact match but is the easiest to use, no clear coat required and seems easier to hide mistakes.

What you think?





Sorry about my spelling, im an engineer and only work in numbers.

chav it is then.

Yeh i thought black too, quickest to do.

Ive had it in the car sprayed with silver hammerite to stop it rusting while i used the car a few times. Just looked nice.

My missus seems to think i could mix them all together lol

The diferent attitudes to these cars I find very interesting, to me, as long as it looks tidy-ish and goes well I'm happy.

To others its all about the presentation, still others its just about making the build look finished, and finnally those who have all sorts of "go faster" bits fitted that do pretty much nothing.

This isn't a pop at the OP as everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and these sort of choices are what making your own car is all about. Its just interesting.
