Side bullets dilema, Urgent!!

[ChrisD172]

Right guys

Wipped the front diamond and side bullets off tonight

Im going ford graphite grey with them, will be doing the wheels this colour as well

So the dilema

Got a few coats of colour on the bullets now, approaching time for lacquer

Will i do the lettering silver or just leave them all anthracite, i cant decide!!

Anybody got pics of both options??

 

[Hutchie]

silver = no no

 

[ChrisD172]

Was thinking just the lettering silver to make that clear

I think just leaving them anthracite will prob look ok like

 

[cat171]

I'd do the letters etc flame red.

 

[fUbAr]

you took them off tonight... have already primed them and applied the base coat... and already you want to put the laquer on them?

My advice is to wait... concentrate on the prep work and at least let the paint cure for 24 hours before laquering them!

I think silver writing would look good.

 

[ChrisD172]

Dammit cat, why did you go and throw that into the mix! lol

I do have a colour match kit in the glove box though

 

[ChrisD172]

They were off the car this afternoon, primed this fternoon, colour coats are pretty much just finished, just been to the shed there

Ill wait till tomorrow before i lacquer

 

[cat171]

Flame red lettering etc with anthracite background will look sh*t hot !!!
I know as someone on here has them like that

 

[ChrisD172]

I do like that idea, will sleep on it thanks very much

fo shizzle

 

[ChrisD172]

Think i should redo the calipers then? Theyre silver at the moment, thats why i was gonna go with silver lettering

 

[ChrisD172]

Heres how they look so far, love this Ford graphite grey, theres a great flake in the paint, looks the business up close

Primered and painted, lacquer tomorrow and possibly do the letters some colour

Slightly dodgy phone photos but pretty chuffed so far

 

[ChrisD172]

Did the lettering flame red

 

[iimushroomzii]

Any pics? Think flame red lettering will look awesome

 

[ChrisD172]

Just lacquering the now mate, will throw some up in a bit

 

[nickl360]

I really need to do something like this to my flamer. Need the wheels and a splitter first though!

 

[whatisjustis]

Coming along nicely Chris!

 

[ChrisD172]

Re: Side bullets dilema, Urgent!! Now finished

Room for improvement but im pretty happy, cant wait to do the wheels now

 

[whatisjustis]

Nicely done. Did you get those anthracite rims in the end?

 

[ChrisD172]

Na mate just going to redo my own wheels, gonna go for the ford graphite grey, same as i used for the bullets and badge, i think itll look the nuts when its done, ill try and do the rear diamond as well i think.

Just sorting some apex springs and ordered a 307 splitter from the local pug dealer this morning

Should have it done in the next week or two

 

[nickl360]

Got any pics for a 307 splitter? Just wondering what it looks like on a flame red clio

Fantastic job on the bullets and badge, fancy doing mine?

 

[ChrisD172]

Have a bash yourself mate, theyre not bad to do, very time consuming though

When the spliter and that is on ill take some pics and post them um

 

[Si]

Pimp! Lol. E-mail me, I'm bored! Please?

 

[ChrisD172]

You know id normally do anything for you Si mate x

Aye cheers mate, completely forgot i had that colour matched kit in the bottom of my glovebox! Definately the right choice doing them that colour

 

[Hally-XIX]

[ChrisD172]

Dad found some super fine paint brushes, made life a lot easier doing the numbers

 

[Peperami]

Im guessing you have anthracite wheels?

 

[ChrisD172]

Not yet i dont but thy will be in the next week or two, trying to find steelies so i can get my wheels off, will do them the same colour as the bullets/badge

Sound!

Good decision too on going for the apex springs. Still love the look of them on mine. They're man springs! :quiet:

 

[ChrisD172]

You got a couple pics of yours on the apex springs mate? Fire thm my way if you dont mind

 

[mikey123]

mate, that looks the dogs!! really smart!

 

[BREMBO]

Your car will look amazing

Going to transform so quickly aswell!

Gives it a nice squat I reckon. This was the day they were fitted though so marginally lower now I'd say due to settling slightly.

 

[Vish]

Bullets look great mate.

Any pics of them on the car yet or waiting to get it all sorted before pics. Anthracite wheels really suite flamers, IMO.
