   I've got a black mk2 flat arch
   
   I've sprayed my interier stuff white and plan to do the badges white today also, got them off waiting
   
   But.. now thinking about it and looking at the bits.. I don't know if I like them, it's just boring
   
   I want somehting..different, like saxo180
   
   I was thinking doing bits in bright green, baby blue, pink(but that's already been done)
   
   Something that goes with black, but hasn't been done before, I can't think
   
   Ideas?

   I think youll find it hard to get a combination with black that hasnt been done mate sadly, but although they have been done nationally they probably havent been done near you so id look at it that way. Personally I think fluerescant yellow, fluerescant orange and fluerescant green look the best as theyre really in your face

   Yeah there's no colour themed cars round my way which is why I want to do it, not seen any black flat arches either in our area so think it would really stand out
   
   My top colours are;
   
   Baby blue
   Tangy orange
   Lime green
   
   But I don't know which one to go for, suppose I could just do them a different colour if I don't like them but I don't know what to choose first

   Just bought baby blue
   
   Question;
   
   I've already painted by door speakers white, how do I re-paint it? Just wet and dry the white off again?
   
   Also;
   
   Badges;
   
   I don't know what TCUT to use to get he paint off them, what's the name of the product?

   T-Cut the original stuff, red bottle
   
   for the bits youve already painted you prob wont need to prime again so just sand them and re-spray them again
