Got my specials back from Carl, and I've started to refurb the centres.

But I can't decide what colour to paint the centres...

This is my car



It now has super wide group 2 style arches in black fitted.

I was thinking black, but as Richard pointed out you loose the detail in the centre. I really am stuck. I saw the gold ones - they look great but I don't think they'll go at all.

Help!!!

I would do them the same blue as the car. With the shiny rims that will go well I think.

I reckon white or gold. I saw one of Griffins Vaux powered track cars today, green clubby with gold force 13" splits. Was very very nice *happy*

Black or gun metal (anthracite on the van looks a bit purple).

Gold is a bit gay and the blue would blend them into the car too much. You need to be able to see them.

I quite like the gold force racing wheels.

BTW what colour is your supercharger pulley?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I'm really stuck, I like the gold. I think I'm going to paint one gold one blue and see what's best!

If I can get a glow in the dark laceur I'll do that for a laugh!!
