Painting extractors, what color will look good?

Postby Barnsy » September 25th, 2008, 9:06 pm

I will be picking up a set of second hand extractors that have a few stains/surface rust on them, looking to clean them up and then spray VHT paint on them.

Things to consider are Poly Green car, AU LPG (green) rocker cover
wondering what color will look good

Black
Blue - similar to what paccey's look like when they're new
Silver

open to suggestions

cheers

Get a theme for your car and stick to that?
Asking other people to colour code your car is only a good idea if your a lover of fluro green (effalcon!), pink, and any other terrible fluro colours
