.. Should I paint my inner arches Black or White?

I have Red oxided them (very thick coat). Can i just brush coach paint on now or should i use underseal or stone chip, I have only removed the original underseal in the repaired areas btw!

If I do them white will the look bad after a year??

Heres a pic off what I to play with...

I think I might also paint the calipers and strut etc Black aswell as it seems i have dripped red oxide everywhere lol:thumb:

Will it look good in a year though or will I need to paint them all the time?

If you get a nice glossy finish it will jet wash off fine

Ok then I will try, the oxide finish is smooth so it should come up well:D

Well I will hopefully finish welding tomorrow, then I will red oxide the rest so hopefully I should have it all white by Thursday !

Looks good, did all my inner arches around a month or so ago on my daily driver and well impressed by how it all came up ! did it all with white hammerite, what paint did you use ? The dirt just falls off with the pressure washer and they look like brand new again ! very time consuming job due to all the cleaning needed before painting but definteley worth it !

I used Red oxide primer (unknown make as its proper industrial gear) and then white woco (witham) coach paint :D
