    Heya guys.

    My bumper/rub strips are starting to look tired, not to mention the gront grill. So im gonna give them a spray as soon as i can i think. At the same time i'll probably do my centre console etc aswell.

    Iv got some plastic primer spray but im about to order some coloured spray so my question is:

    For the rub strips, what kind of black have people used? Im planning or ordering Hycote spraypaint should i get Gloss, Satin, Matt etc?

    The interior im not sure as iv never sat in a saxo with silver detailing inside, so what kind of silver would people reccommend? I dont want it to look chromey so im thinking along the lines of a matt silver / aluminium look.

    Cheers guys

    get the same colour as your car mate


    also you might benefit from hiring a spray booth for the day

    Well for spraying the bumpers i can use the workshop next door to mine. The guy used to own a garage but since retiring closed it down and took all the tools for his own private hobbiest workshop.

    Hes a nice guy, gave me a key to it incase i ever need odd tools or extra jacks/stands or use of his car lift. It also doubles up as a sprayshop so if needbe i could use that. Is that necesary for the rub strips though?

    My car is black, i just refuse to pay halfrauds over the odds for the colour match sprays. Im sure i'v come accross citroen black spray on ebay before too.
