Let the purple commence

[missp]

Well - I am impatient and as I am gettin a new bumper anyway I figured I would do a bad job of painting a couple of bits without primer just to see what they look like on before i decide what to do properly. Soooo.....

And many thanks to Jase - my bonnet lifter arrived extremely safely today here is the painted bracket just need it fitting now YAY

Hmmmm

[missp]

hahahahahha i have a feeling it may be a bit too light so I'll accept your "hmmmmm" will see what its like on her and maybe go order darker paint.

P.S.... Me and Owen movin out soon Ross YIPPEE

Well they seem to sum up my feelings on the choice :) Thelma looks quite "Shocked" ... Each to their own

[missp]

lol - i was aiming for "cadburys" purple, much darker. But i'll see what i think when these are back on the bumper. Its gonna be these bits, maybe splitter, rubbing strips I do. Was gonna do door handles but may leave them black now.

Oh and arch liners maybe mudflaps.

I was going to say it looked familiar, only the last time I saw it it was in primer.

im thinking hmmm too, but wet painted items never look the same as a dry piece on the car so i await for pics

[missp]

I'll get pics up of these on her later. Kids at school thought it was ace lol. We'll see. I have decided to just go for spraying the rest in this one. See how it grows on me (and see if i get banned from Rubbadubz meets) if i dont like it well then i will paint them darker. Its only a bit of paint!

Dont blame you, best of luck.

And many moons ago a friend of mine had a Fiesta Turbo in the dark met grey they did. She had all the trim lines and bits and bobs done purple rather than the green they come in as standard and it looked really cool.

Well that would; the green looked pretty daft on anything other than a green or red car.

[missp]

thats on the car, bit darker than looked spraying it.... every time i see a bar of diary milk tho i will just be reminded its not perfect so i think i may be gettin new paint

(oh p.s... yes i know it looks bad - figured minus primer would be easier to get off to paint over if colour was wrong)

[vindaloo]

Not sure I should recommend this....

Have you considered "black chrome" or a "smoked" lacquer for the murple bits.

Might make them look a bit more a bit more Dairy Milk than "damp Parma Violet".

[missp]

ooo now theres an idea as at present havent been lacquered (as it'll all be redone properly by t'other half as hes off work next week) but that sounds like a wicked idea to tone it down a bit.

[sms]

looks good!!

[Robshaw]

It would have been interesting to see how primer would change the colour.

I actually like that - It's different! (Even if it's not the colour you were going for)

[KTP]

WTF?!!!

[missp]

WTF?!!!

Girly car hehehehehe
