   focusing on 3 colours.
   
   green is the primary colour as most of the car is green.
   
   black is my secondary colour as the rub strips are black and eventually the wheels will be as well
   
   and my third or what i like to call my ''mechanical colour'' is yellow so all the brake caliper's are yellow and bits of the engine as you can see.

    i used brake caliper paint but i would not reccommend it as when it heats up it gets sticky.it stops it from cracking but i didnt use primer or laquer.just 3 coats of yellow and 2 coats of hardener
    
    glad to be an inspiration.lol
