  • Car going to paint in 10x days. Advice!

    My MK2 RS2 is going to paint in ten days time, Diamond White.
    Its alloy arched and had all the fabrication completed over the last 12 months, I cant wait to see it all tidy in a new coat of paint. Thing is Im not complete in my mind on the paint layout. Its white inside and out for sure. Just wanted to get some comments on the following:-

    Black rollcage
    Black panel behind grille
    Black dash panel inside
    Black around rear quarter windows

    Should it be a particular black? And should I do the black anywhere else?

    Comments welcome.
    Why do we pay others to do a job we did ourselves?

    Ever paid for conveyancing?

    most do the 'Satin black' look - there is a techy name for it, someone will know

    as for where else, have a look at some of the restos ......

    rear back panel around rear light clusters and reg plate i think youve forgotten, unless your car is a base model

        I would say yes to all the above and as Grum says black rear panel aswell
        Difficult roads often lead to beautiful places

          Correct term is "Ford Trim Black"
