   Hi guys.....im new on here so firstly hello! secondly, im wanting to colour code my VTR and want your ideas on whats the best colour to go with the blue?
   
   Ideas ive had (mainly stolen from on here) are:-
   
   Bright Green
   Black
   White
   Orange
   Yellow
   Gun Metal
   
   Now my fave would be the green but now im getting older i like the subtle look. so i was thinking gunmetal/anthrecite. Im doing to be doing the brake calipers, engine bits, badges in the colour.
   
   well here she is.

   either gloss or matt black or posi, anything else looks daft imo. could get away with gunmetal/anth but not sure

   I've got spare rockers now so I can change anytime I want.....5 minute job.
   
   The snooker cue was holding it up while I painted my bonnet stay :-p I'm sticking with the gold for now I think as it looks subtle and a bit different

    I like the orange but have Bren wanting something different.....I'll probably keep changing once a month as rocker gaskets are only £2!
    
    Thanks for the ideas though.....keep them coming. Blue is so hard to colour code

    its an option.....after standing there with a mate thinking of colour combos i think ive settled with the rocker in posi blue and other things in gloss black just for an understated clean look. the gold doesnt look right neither did the silver so yea!
