OK OK, but in my defense I have been a little busy. Just check my Interior thread.
I will get the info up early in the week, promise.

| Posted: Thu May 22, 2008 5:02 pm Post subject: Satin Black |
|
|
I always wanted to paint the B Pillars Black. So, finally did it today.
Masking up takes sooooooo long.
First coat of Satin Black
And while I had the paint out, I grabbed my spare set of C Pillar Trims and gave them some Satin Black goodness as well.
Not sure yet if I will keep the C Pillar Trims. I still have the red ones if I want to swap them back.
Cheers

PS, yes will get some shots of how to do the fuel flap. |

| Doesn't work in the current configuration, the grey of the bumper/side stripes clashes with the c pillar trims. Once you've done the kit it should look better. |

All in good time. The strips will be colour coded eventually.
And some stockies are on the cards too for some fun.

I've seen a wagon with similar treatment and it looked like the QE2. It didn't look bad, it looked good in a way, but very long.
Regarding BenJ's C-pillar, i don't think it looks good now. I agree body colour stripes help. I also think the paint is too matt. But the B-pillars look good the way they are. |
