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.

MunkeyboyRS

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.

Where do you get Red Waxoyl from?

MunkeyboyRS

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.

MunkeyboyRS

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?

MunkeyboyRS

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.

MunkeyboyRS

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

MunkeyboyRS

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.

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

MunkeyboyRS

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

Twins

iTrader: (18)
