Hi All

I now have a nice new tin of Hammerite Smooth Green sat in my spare room (Thanks to matt@theforce) prepped waiting for my 312's to arrive following payday next week.

But what else can i paint with it?!

I purchased a SEAT front strut brace yesterday (to be fitted at Unit18 on Friday) It's red as standard which goes with my red Fabia but i could paint it green?

In preparation of Saturday's Combe show stand could i "touch up" the visible bits of my 288 brakes while they are on the car or am i asking for trouble?

The other half suggested i give our (currently red) Jabba RARB a coat of green?

Anything else easily accesible that could do with a coat??

Sensible ideas welcome

and not so sensible ideas considered (but most likely not carried out! )

Rocker cover? Alternator?

I think touching up callipers is a bad idea. Either you take them off, clean them properly and spray them completely or you leave them well alone. I think they'd look terrible otherwise.

Exhaust tip would be well cool.

His callipers appear to be off the car already?

Did I misunderstand that then? :(

Oh yeah! lol - I thought you were referring to the the "I now have a nice new tin of Hammerite Smooth Green sat in my spare room prepped waiting for my 312's to arrive following payday next week."

Apologies!

:eek: Strut brace i could handle but that'd be way way too much green under the bonnet i think!

Had the wheels off last wash and they were looking v tired so thought a touch up was wide and I was more concerned with painting them shut than the final look, as they'll be removed in the near future and most likely binned

lol i do hate cleaning it back to chrome again. although that could a slippery slope to a red and green exterior horror story

red body work - green exhaust - green bump strips - green door handles - green fog light inserts - green grill - green wing mirrors - green spolier - green wheels!

Front doors? could be like the first Skoda 'harlequin'

lol i hastily photoshopped this (yes it is a quiet day at work! )

:sour::sour::sour::sour:

Excuse me while I go throw up

Ghetto "Skoda Motorsport" graphics on the side?

There was a member on here who did have green wheels... I seem to remember it made me feel violently sick.

I can't see the photobucket links (stupid work filters) but i think it was this one http://briskoda.net/fabia-i/marmite/127071/

and it looked bad enough to with black body let alone with red

I think i'll stick to brakes and the strut brace if i can be bothered!!

I fitted a strut brace to mine a couple of months back, i left it red i think it goes better with the car, there is an image on here somewhere if you want it

How about your wheel nut covers?...

Sell it on, Some people would pay mega bucks to get there hands on some smooth green. lol.

I gave up looking and just bought some red and painted over the green

So i now have the fronts red, and the rears green.

I was just worried about corrosion as much of the green had peeled off.

paint your shoes

I had some smooth green left after doing my 312's last year, so a coupe of weekends ago when I swapped my alloys back I painted the rear calipers, didn't bother taking them off, just made sure they were extremely clean and tapped up well, no problem, look the business again.

Offer a brake touch-up service at Castle Combe!?
