I do prefer gold on red. I also didn't like the way the top stripe terminated at the back with the black centre ending in fresh air so I ran the gold bottom stripe underneath it. Each to their own! Kev

Agree Kev I always think that silver washes out the red - the gold changes the look of it completely - is that one Candy Gipsy?

Going to try that on the newly aquired T500K another thing I was thinking about was using a gold Base coat instead of silver

Thought I would spritz the badges up so they don't look too shabby on the panels.

Stripped back to bare metal, masked up for painting and then orange glitter to finish off
