Right then I've got a 1.1 saxo and at the moment under the bonnet I've got some sort of ford RS green for the rocker cover, covers, strutbraces etc also the calipers and drums are RS green. I painted it all with a paint brush and now I'm looking for a bit of a change, I want to spray it all a different colour but I don't no what colour? Ideas please
(Pics will be up later on)
Cheers

if your cars green, i'd say something like black or grey... just makes the engine bay look tidier, but if you want something different... maybe white? :homme:

sand it down, wont have to strip it all the way back. just give it a rough surface for the paint to grip to
