Default OPINIONS ON COLOUR SCHEME

Had a weekend of fun trying to fit a bugeye splitter on a classic got there in the end;
Need some opinions on wether to paint the splitter all black or the two outer parts silver and leave the centre bar black
And should the side vents be black or silver

I usually have a good eye for these things;

Def leave the two outer parts silver and centre bar black of the splitter. Side vents not sure, I reckon silver same as bumper, would be better than black.

Splitter looks great btw, something different n original.

Whole lot silver apart from the centre bar

The vents might look like a stuck on after thought if they're black

Splitter looks great but is it just me or are the vents on back to front

I would tend to agree, all silver except the centre bar, and I'm guessing the current colour scheme is Halfrauds plastic filler primer

An old project of mine

Vents are that way to grab air to help keep brakes cool they were off a 3 door cossie cut and shut them so they were smaller
your right filler primer whish they did it in white would make a better base coat for when it goes back to 262 silver

They do a plastic primer in white, I'm doing my new vent and grill in it. Give it a coat of that before the top coat
