    Had a play around yesterday with the spray gun and painted the RaceFit carbon fibre heat shield Repsol Orange, now I'm not sure if it's too much orange and I should redo it black.


    Opinions Please.................

    It looks sort of out of place! If you did the whole belly pan it might blend better

    I think it looks good in orange and it is nice to be a bit different. I think though that the colour scheme looks more balanced with the section being black though.

    Looks good in orange imo. I bet it's faster with that extra orangey bit too ;)

    Not sure about it being honest mate. It kind of doesnt follow the line of orange but if your happy with it don't listen to us!

    To be honest, I am not liking it as much as I thought I would, but still undecided.

    Only take me an hour to put it back to satin black.

    Still Undecided.

    Yep, but would have to be from a spray can, as I haven't got mixing of metallic perfected yet, but I can make that look just as good, it's all down to preparation and finishing.

    I'd leave it for a couple of weeks and if it still bothers you put it back to black or like Martin said and try and match the blue
