Pritchard Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I think i really need to start a build thread about now with everything going on.... anyway, Gathered enough materials now to send off for some spraying and hydrodipping to be done. Going for some Orange spraying (to match car colour) with some Green Flames to contrast. The work is being done by resident traders rEvolve Auto Ltd. Parts being sent: this is how it will be colour coded: the items to be dipped - Engine Cover - triangle corner sections (black plastic by bonnet hinges) - air intake pipe (not box) - base of strut bar the items to be sprayed in Orange A17 paint code - Main strut bar - 'core' strut bar - battery and bake fluid covers - 'Z' badge (i have one spare that im sending up, from the front wing). - Slam Panel And this is the 'Skull Green Flames' that was recently demo'ed by rEvolve: and then of course, some green hoses and cable tidies to loose some of the dull black. Looking forward to this Pritchard Quote

Looking forward to seeing it all refitted. I'm having some parts hydro dipped ATM. Can't wait to see the finished items... 1 Quote
gumpy000 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Looks like it could look epic by the end. Good luck and look forward to seeing the pics!!! 1 Quote
Pritchard Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Yea getting the whole bay done would be great. but i thought i would start with the big bits of the puzzle first. see how it looks. then go from there. Quote
Pritchard Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Yep. it was a tough choice deciding what to partner with my Orange - it was between green, purple, or lilac. :lol: Quote
martybhoy Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Looking forward to seeing some finished pics Quote

GMballistic Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Will be interesting to see the result! +1. Hope it turns out how you want it to Pritchard. 1 Quote
14N Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 One burning question, that'll stick out once you refit all this - What have you got planned for the plenum? Quote
Keyser Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I like a bit of Green Keep us posted please. 1 Quote
Pritchard Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 One burning question, that'll stick out once you refit all this - What have you got planned for the plenum? that hasnt been forgotten. at the moment its my biggest peeve. I really dont know. its a huge peice, so going green flame or orange will i think overpower one or the other massively. giving it a chrome polish isnt what i want to do with it either. Its part of 'phase2'. lets see how it looks after this little collection, then tackle the rest. 1 Quote
14N Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Good shout. I think just a good coat of satin black would work well with all the other pieces. It wouldn't overshadow any of the orange and would tie in with the dipped pieces nicely. Just my opinion. See how it looks when it's back together. Quote

Ricey Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Your green flame film has arrived via the ridiculously good service of Aquagraphix (ordered around midday yesterday, dispatched 20 minutes later and received an hour ago! 1 Quote
Pritchard Posted December 16, 2014 Author Posted December 16, 2014 Wow that was quick! Let me know when mine arrives I do applogise in advance for my wrapping ability... crude doesnt come close to describing it. lol. 14n, Satin black sounds good. I agree with your reasoning. its going to have to be black green or orange in reality, as these 3 colours are present. introducing a 4th colour (inc chrome) i think will just look awful. as it stand, it currently will be the 4th colour of course. hence why it will need attention Quote
14N Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Not sure if you've seen my bay or not, but it's orange and, erm, orange! I think the polished plenum look amazing, and I also have a core strut from the MopedMan which look great polished too. NBt I have nothing else that's polished in my bay, so, even though I like the shiny plenum, it would not have worked in my bay either. Hence the reason I painted mine.... Orange Quote
