Colour problems!

Colour problems!

Post by liver13 » Fri Apr 04, 2014 4:57 pm

Hi all!

Just wondering if some of you guys could give me some ideas on what colour/s to paint my engine, gearbox, axels etc!? What colours would go with my Sj, it's such a annoying colour haha! Just wondering what others have done!?

Cheers Luke

Axles black and don't paint the engine or transmission, It's more hassle than it's worth, they are aluminum so won't corrode

If you do have to paint stuff then with te engine I think they look best when you just paint the steel parts/pulleys etc.

I'd do red and white parts to match the graphics :)
