A solid bright yellow would work really well with Arden blue. Something like BMW Dakar yellow ( or maybe slightly deeper )

I went black with silver for a oem look although I did my rear calipers red as I didn't fancy painting the front brembos.
The car is Arden Blue? mmm, black or more arden!

mehhh i open the garage door look at it, fart around for about 20 mins then close the door, sit down and worry about the amount of work ive taken on with it lol
it will get there in the end, i will be happy if its on the road late next year, any sooner then that and i will be chuffed with myself
im in no real rush it will come together in its own time, when it does i will have to take a trip down your way and have a look at yours fella

mine is the same boat, money is a big hold back too. aiming for billing 2014 if its done before i'd be chuffed. Even though i've had a bag of nova's this is the first i'm building alone and its a bit of a learning curve too. yeah cant wait to get it sorted and see the local(ish) members

does glow in the dark paint come as a colour or is it almost a clear coat?
