Thanks for the pic Kev smileys/smiley17.gif mmm im not sure about the colour code. what does everyone else think? im leanin towards keepin the black bits, but only problem is some of them are lookn a bit shoddy, whats the best way to smooth down any imperfections and get it lookin proper black agen?

guess itll look similar to that, just more yellow

[woodsy]

use some back to black but the cust seams to stick to it

i found before mine was colour coded that wd40 was the best non greasy perfect......

click me (http://www.wd40jobsite.com/secret_search.cfm?c=6&q=&imageField.x=12&imageField.y=10) for loads of ways to use wd40 on your car lol

Thanks woodsy, quite a few interestin things it can b used for on there. what would u recommend for smoothing the imperfections on there? also theres a few small areas where a bit of yellow paints made a slight overspray onto the black, Back to Black wudnt cover this before.

got a week to decide what to do before it goes off to have the work done

rubbing compound works for me

when i had mine coded the body shop used super glue to stick my vts badges back on ......dicks

noticed that some ran down the fresh paint so the just wiped the glue leaving a smudge on there

gently rubbing compound paste brought it off

Nice 1, ill give it a quick try sometime this week when the wind and rains calmed down. thanks smileys/happy.gif

don't colour code IMO mate

[kevmiles250]

yeh I think it looks better black....with the kit resprayed and refitted, and back to black all the strips it should look really good IMO

[willsy]

cheers for the job on photoshop kev. definately think u and baz have the right thoughts about colour coding tho. ill get the strips back upto scratch in black and stuff. what bout the mirrors? they cud do with being yellow perhaps, the standard plastic black looks a bit dull sometimes, perhaps its just cuz it needs a wash.

[Baz]

if you had the standard mirrors on you could have got yellow caps for them...but you don't so..would keep them black...

[willsy]

smileys/smiley4.gif ok. well the decision not to colour code has just saved me some more money which ill put towards my exhaust. Cheers guys. ill get sum pics up again when its all done next week

[willsy]

3 days till paint job on VT* kit. im still not 100% sure about colour coding.

[kevmiles250]

id say dont do it untill you are 100%.....nothing to stop you booking it in at a later date if you decide you want it doing
