As above, trying to work out what colour to paint my fuel tank, the under of the car is being covered in red stonechip(red waxoil) ARBs and lower arms ect are gloss black and braided fuel and brake line. Now what's people opinions, paint the tank red to blend in or black to stand out with everything else?
Cheers

 

Black IMO... can't picture a red fuel tank.

 

Didd mine silver mate.







I wish I'd powdercoated it all now rather than Hammerite but will re do it at some stage.

 

The silver looks really good! Been flicking though some pictures on here and I think I'll keep it a lil simple, red car, black parts apart from the yellow Koni damper and red springs.

 

its a bit strange but ya could always do yellow, if not gloss black all the way

 

just how i did mine

 

id go for black IMO mate

 

Where do you get Red Waxoyl from?

 

it's not called waxoyl it's called Stonechip, I've never heard of it but the lad painting my car told me about it.

 

Juffer dude where's your spare wheel well gone?
Looks really nice dude!

 

Cant beat a bit of neutral black mate especially on red.

 

The spare wheel well was rotten so i cut it out and had a disc lazer cut to size and welded in.

 

I see, he is using a red stonechip or painting over the top of the stone chip in red?

 

Pass to be honest mate, as far as I know the stone chip is red, I'll ask him later when I phone him.

 

You will still need to paint over it red if its red, as it will fade

 

Cheers, would be much appreciated. I'm looking to do the underside of mine so just trying to get as much info as possible.

 

Twins: Cheers bud, He just told me it would be red, nearly the same red as the car. was going to pm you, do you have a picture of your car front straight under, with the car up on ramps, I though I see one in the mag feature, but cant find the mag.

Fiend: I'll drop you a pm when I speak to him and find out.

 

My fuel tank is red, but wish it was gloss black or silver. I didnt think you could have a fuel tank powdercoated as they have rubber inside parts, or so i heard something like that.

 

Correct Mike i believe the internal swirl pot is plastic so cant be powder coated i had mine wet painted in silver

 

Puss. That silver looks really good, but I think its cos its going/gone on a white car, silver looks very stock. But I'm still not sure, it will either end up silver or black now.

 

Porsche Riviera Blue for me

 

Good point here is a pic of Daves

 

Sorry dude what colour is that car is on?

 

Puss. Now your taking that looks mint! swinging in the silver side now!

 

white car, just fancied something different from the norm, rest of underside is silver or black so did this to add a drop of colour.

 

 

jealous much :'( what sort of money did that cost to do mate

 

Twins: really loving your pic, was there a pic from straight under neth? Have you got braided fuel lines and brake line under the car?
Be prepaired to have another rst look as good under neth as yours lol.

Matt: don't think your get an answer to that, but I'd bet it was a lot.

 

The main fuel and brake lines are standard ,powder coated ,just got the usual little bits in braided and just off the master cylinder to to the front inner wings ,cost wise not as much as you would think, as all the prep and body and paint under there we did ,just paid for the powder coating i think for all the powder coating in black was about Ł170 then the springs were extra as fancy colour and i also had the shocks wet painted ,so i think for the shocks and springs was Ł150 then just the cost of the stone chip and red paint

 

I will try to find the other pic i know what one you mean

 

Found some ,excuse the dirt

 

Spot on Twins! There just the picture I'm after! Not out to copy your idea but usethem to help see my ideas as it's so hard to see t what is should look like done.

Are you going central day?

 

Looks amazing, wish i had painted my gearbox before it was lifted into the shell. Not going to take it all out again now, considered brush painting it lol with hammerite, oh the shame.

 

I will be mate ,hobbling about, as broke an arm,fractured my leg and my back skiing two weeks ago ,car wont be there though as i need to ride in comfort there and back

 

Well I'll keep an eye out for a man walking like a pirrate and come say hi
