Default REDRUM

Iv Gone a bit overkill with the old paint brush
Lol , it all started with contrasting Red & Blue with the MUD FLAPS as no 1 was goin for that combo & I like to be a little different . Anyway it has spiralled out of control , I liked it at first but now , the more I look I think it's just way OTT
.. So bringing that on , I'm gonna drop the engine in a month or so , thinking everything BLACK as the BLOCK is already painted , also goin to paint the ROTA G FORCE from GUNMETAL to BLACK & change out the MUDFLAPS .

Thanks m8
I though so for a wilst / but I have admirably an over obsession with RED , have my bikes the same ... Was just after some suggestions / not really much options with BLUE car / if I ditch it for BLACK it will be the whole engine compartment including firewall & inner wings lol

Regards mic

Yes I'm in the process of sorting reverse vents for bonnet
It has dulled up in the last 6 months but a days cleaning brings it back a touch / there are loads of other things that are on the 2 do list
Cams valves & retainers been at the top of list
May paint the HEADS RED also ,, ha ha
See thr I go again

Yepp that's a lot of red under there, but as mentioned it don't look bad at all
How about a couple of chromy bits around? Might draw your away from some of the red

Can't say I'm into chrome ,, a few black additions starting with a rad cool panel will certainly make the RED "POP" tho

I don't think there is too much red. If u leave the fusebox, rad brackets n some other brackets top left black it would balance it out a bit better imo. Either way it looks great.
