   got a mauritious blue VTR...
   
   and i wanna paint the wheels, badges and grille the same colour.
   
   gloss black
   
   or
   
   gunmetal grey.
   
   not sure if the grey would go with the blue though.
   
   any other suggestions?
   
   
   i want it to look quite dark mind, s no yellows or oranges hahah.
   
   cheers.

   Go For White... My Mate Painted His VTS Alloys White His Badges White And His Mirror Caps But He's Meshed His Grille... His Brother Had Them All Black So He Sprayed Them White And The White Does Suit It Better Otherwise Go For Gunmetal Don't See That Colour On Saxo's Much Anymore
