Id paint it black with under body deadener or the Ute stuff. Its too much actinomycosis me and dominates the rear of the car. Detracts from the rest of your work

That paint is of a stunningly good finish!
How I single out the paint on such an amazing overall product I'm not sure as it's all brilliant but, um yeah, nice. Needs 10mm more low me thinks. Do you have adjustment in your wobbly link for height adjustment?

Paint came up very nice!!
smurf, are you planning on running semi slicks? For such a light car and that engine combination, might need wider tires...

Smurf, keep the tank alu, the paint is nice, but the focus should be kept on all the custom bits/work.

Awesome looking car, great finish on that paint work! The bay is looking great too, but why black? (for maintenance reasons... as in it will be hard to see oil leaks?? Not that id expect any coming from this car ever.... lol)
Well done again more pics!

Racetech.... I am with you bro, reckon keep it ally !!
Stock1200... There was a couple reasons why.... I wanted to be able to spray it all my self with the same type of paint... The underside of the car and enine bay are done in KBS top coat... Very good chemical resistance and goes super hard and glossy with clear... Other side was the paint i have used for the body is stupidly $$$$$ and we are only just going to have enouh to finish the other panels... Me and the old man def talked about the maintenance issues like you pointed out but decided to go with black anyways...

Progress looks great!
Don't get me wrong, the black looks tuff as, my only thought was of the practical side of things it will be a pain, although i suppose with some good fluros above and beneath you can use the gloss finish like a mirror to see throughout the engine bay! haha Keep the pics coming, great work!
