Question Help me, Not sure if it looks good or not?

Hello,

Just incase you are a little blind it is the red i have added (pictures make it more like orange)





Should i keep it like this or not? I dont want it to be black.

I want to have red hoses so i thought this might match

Oh yeah im glad my door is now colour coded

Many Thanks Eigdoog.

Not my cuppa tea to be honest. Bit bright and looks out of place, but that might just be because of the pics and my phone.

That's true, once you've got some wires running across the back there it would probably break it up a.bit too.

I did think of doing it the same colour and i have seen rocket covers done in the magenta and i dont like it so i though just a red would do.

Just wanted something different

Noooo! lol.

As above if you gotta paint some bits go body coloured, maybe even smooth your inner wings and stuff, tidy your wiring and go for a semi euro look! i painted my bay recently and would have loved to body colour and smooth bits, but didnt have the pacience

No need for heat resistant mate. just buy halfrauds rattle cans along with primer and laquer. if you prep well and know wat your doing you can get an out the gun finish with a can. check my freshly painted engine bay in my thread
