    My OEM exhaust keeps on rusting through so bought an exhaust off CallumW (the newer type with a shield)
    I was thinking of colour matching the shield.

    Any thoughts, too much?

    Personally I think it looks better as standard but that's just my thoughts.

    Cheers Stu

    Could you paint the lower half HRC Blue so it looked like a racing bellypan extended back from the original blue bellypan line. Then, get the silver exhaust shroud power coated black and Bob's your uncle. I'm not keen on the silver coloured exhaust. Black would be much better and not make the half blue, half black idea to busy with the silver shroud as well.

    Get me????

    No you don't!!! Extend the natural blue line back from the bellypan at the same angle and paint the section below that line blue. Everything above it - black.

    Can use photoshop so I'll have to work on my explanations!!!

    It just won't stay that colour heat on anything other than black will discolour
