Did some painting for a change today.
I didnt want the rs2000s interior to be all the same shade of colour, so mixed some paint (forgot must much I enjoy mixing colour) for the door cars and center consol and painted the seats and floor with my B&Q bargin bin Matt chocolate paint (Ł3).
Just give the floot a qwick coat as I wanted it a nice warm colour.
Also did my wheels.
