Could people post up pics of theirs or someone elses Nova with painted inner arches

I really want to do mine but want a general idea of what it will look like and the best way to go about it

Cheers, Vaughan!

Wasn't gonna post this but then thought sod it.
Im doing mine at the mo..
Its only a photoshop; i did it to proove a point to a mate; he's since entertained the idea - ive made a start in real life; but not finished or pics yet.
black: boring.

I was thinking of doing mine, but worry about the rust prevention offered over undersealed arches

Another part of the car to clean. Pointless in my eyes.

Peester that looks mint - I'll take all my suspension off sometime and give it a few licks of Red Hammerite Smoothrite lol

Should do the trick :)

hey, i mean all you track-heads dont bother i guess; youre right itll prob just all fall off or get covered in dirt after the first corner; its more of a show/fancy thing really.
Ive done it before to novas and from just usual summer road use takes a while to dirty up again really.. Doesnt everyone blast theyre arches out when washing anyway?
Skoob: ive always just painted over the underseal; i doesnt need to be showroom finish/quality. Or you can buy clear waxoil/underseal to paint over it after, if u choose.
