Thanks to Lewis for providing me the grill to test paint.

Getting fed up with the plastidip it marks far to easily.





Thinking of going this colour on the top panel and the fog surrounds too.

That's what I'm thinking will make it stand out and go well with the black.

I've not finished mine yet, thinking of getting it done when my bumper and splitter is painted but will depend on cost.

I noticed my can of Arden blue when doing this but think that would be wrong.
