   Spray it black tom, as you have already painted the bottom end red. So i think if you painted it red then there would be too much if that makes sense.
   
   Just try and hide some of the wires as they are all ugly lol

   gloss black loads of clear coat ive rebuilt the loom aswell from scratch just cut the plugs off and started again.
   certain wires have been lengthened and shortened with black wire sleeves to tidy it up abit.
   
   im thinking small flashes of red painted in the bay. like red lines outlining the bay?
