as title really guys, will be getting the beam, tie bars, lower arms etc etc powder coated. dont know what colour to go for yet.

black is a bit boring.
silver im unsure of.
red is taking my fancy as its the colour i painted it with hammerite.
any other colour of the rainbow might not suit it.

oppinions please. :)

heres a couple pics of my old stuff, blue and red does go together

if not red then white would look good

i agree there, black is a bit too standard. i like browneys silver tbh, but it might clash too much if i have the engine and gearbox silver too. calipers are still going red no matter what. :d
