whats the best colour

Post by crashbang » Sat Apr 28, 2012 10:41 am

so i have just had it with brown the vinel roof fell off a few years ago and i sprayed it with cans white and put a strip down it. now its time to put a wing on so thinking of spraying it with hammerit i have order up some white from work but i found a 5l can of yellow and now thinking thats the way to go. you have to remember my car is a peice of sh** and it gets driven like i stole it on road rally ( sorry lawrence and muriel for the drive home from the airport but i was haveing fun) so its going to get banged around and hammerit will be easy to get
so white
or yellow

If it's smoothrite hammerite, you should be able to get a fairly good finish by just brushing it on. A lot easier than spraying.
