Black on black looks sinister.

Kudos to your wife too for letting you keep the car. :mrgreen:

I agree. The blue is too dark to stand out. Gold is a very good idea.

That's a nice bright blue, what colour is it? When I painted my calipers, I used VHT and the blue was very dark.

Of course I'm talking about the car!
I'm a happily married man (for the last 31 years to the same lovely woman), and Mrs Benny reads this forum too!

hey, i used the VHT spray one also, but i noticed that there were 2 different batches of the same colour. one was lighter than the old one. anyway, the blue is too dark to stand out but it does look very smooth and sleek when there's light out.
Ill change to a bronzey colour in a while i think.
