    Replying to another thread reminded me off this rallycross nova with a slightly different version of the dealer colour stripes combo

    Well, after a long trek yesterday, it's back at home, stripped of paint, primered and powder coated (inside and on the floorpan underneath);



























    I'm really happy with the way that the outside has turned out, but to be honest I'm disappointed with the inside finish. I was wanting a glossy metallic grey, like the BTCC cars from the 90's, but it's ended up a rather matte finish, and looking like an explosion in a glitter factory, it's far too sparkly for my liking.

    I think I'll have to have a coat of wet paint put over the powder coat inside it.
    To contact me please use E-MAIL to colinesmith@aol.com.

    thousands of Nova (plus other Vauxhall and motorsport parts) available.

    hmm. To be fair, its close enough, for me - or rather a tad more interesting looking than the 'default' dark grey / anthra you often see.
    Now all you want for xmas is a decision to stick to on the colour

    I was going to put i feel all nostalgic with your nova- so stick to the red spectrum the car has worn previously.
    But with its new total overhaul, arch kit so much carbon etc. Im not sure either .
