Retro-gone. Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 im undecided what colour to do the underside of my capri bonnet, either gloss black or satin black, before you all say "do it yellow" there are 2 things stopping me, 1st is the cut off date for 2k paint and hardner was xmas, so im not gonna be able get the same paint , but even before i found this out i was hesitant about doing it yellow because with the amount of crap thrown up from the road and the fan, fan belt and K&N filter it just looks filthy all the time .. so what do you guys think? do you reckon il spoil all my hard work if i do the undersid in black? ps, i know your thoughts on this antz
Stu_B Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 paint it poo brown to hide the dirt Seriously though I think satin black
Retro-gone. Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Posted January 13, 2009 yeah im thinkin satin black too. i might just rattle it for now .
Stu_B Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 Will match the vinyl roof & look good if you keep a yellow edge.
Chris! Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 Yellloooowwww. Satin blacks hard to keep clean, you can wash gloss paint down and polish it easily
pauline Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 satin black on the victor the bonnet is the same color has the car and it is a nightmare always looks dirty
OldskoolSue Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 I say satin black too..and suprisingly its not that hard to keep clean..ok you cant polish it but i dont think i'd want to polish under my bonnet anyway
caprinerd Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 mirror film lol go satin tony if you really dont want to do it yellow
Chris! Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 road salts a nightmare and flies get stuck to it unlike gloss paint
Savvi Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 Pet hate ............... black under the bonnet, that's why i've stripped out under the bonnet of my estate, to paint it, and match the rest of the car. Personally i would paint it YELLOW to match the rest of your lovely car
over_head_cam Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 Deffo yellow. Even if the paint is slightly off shade you won't notice as its always in the shade of the bonnet
