    Flashy Chassis

    I'm at the point of painting all my rear subframe etc and i'm looking for inspiration.so has anyone done some nice mixed colours on the rear of the car?

    I loved Deans15's project,but his pics have expired and he doesn't come on here much now
    I want to start painting today,so need some pics quickly if you have them
    Cheers.Paul

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    Sounds like Hamish N's project thread maybe? It'll probably be in the project section somewhere if it was that thread.

    Am I the only one thinking perhaps whatever colour the anti-corrosion paint is will be the best colour?

    How often do you people look under your car?

    Whiiiiiite!







    Not 200sx but you get the idea. It's a bugger to keep clean but it's oh so shiny.

    EDIT: now thoroughly embarrased by all my rusty fittings and heatshields, not to mention the exhaust. I must do better.

    Some great ideas here! thanks

    White looks a bit too much work lol,loving it though!
