In an attempt to reclaim some space in my garage I'm going to stick my old 998 head on ebay (it's not a 295 or even a 202 before anyone asks) however it has been scientifically proven that if you clean and paint a mini part before you put it one the bay it will sell for at least ten times as much, so what colour should I paint it to get maximum profit?

And before you as no I am not pissed.

edit, pooh I've lost the poll and can't seem to get it back :(

The options were:

Red (Everyone know red heads are fastest)
Green (This makes it a classic BMC part & therefore very rare)
Black (Keep the goths hapy or morbid)
Other (This will involve me buying some more paint)

Yep, red. As everyone knows, red pain makes cars go faster *wink*

There is no sense crying over every mistake- you just keep on trying til you run out of cake.

Hi,
Don't forget to paint the springs yellow, this gives excellent results on heads!

Yellow springs but paint the head blue and set it on a clean red cloth for the pics.

Tell them you painted it black to aid heat diserpation (sp?) and that it worked out to be work 11% (always stay away from round numbers when exagerating in an auction description ..... helps add an air of truth to the numb skulls!!!)

I ended up painting it red & it reached a massive £25 on the bay.

Now find another, and paint it green. I bet it'll make more. If not I'll bid on it *wink*
