Petrol filler cap paint mod.

lee.typer.gt · 17th July 2007, 22:03

Painted the petrol filler cap,from silver to dark grey metallic (graphite) to match the front grill,The silver had been bugging me for weeks,was going to colour code it red,but thats the same as ever other car,so took the graphite match front the front grill ,as it works well with the red.....

looks awesome when the sun hits it as the pearl come to play, you can see red,blue,green pin size dots in the graphite aswell as big and small flakes of silver. Wot you think boys...?

looks good... but your door handles are still silver

will you paint them also?

allan40alt · 17th July 2007, 22:13

If you had painted it the body colour or left it Silver then fine; but I feel this looks like you've had to put on a spare from a different coloured Civic. Sorry, but it doesn't work for me. Hey, but if you like it then that's what matters.

Can't decide either way

As long as your happy with it that's all that counts.Did you buy an off the shelf aerosol or have it made up ?

Made it up by looking at the front grill.

So is the front grill a spare from a different coloured civic?

...but it's not near the front grill...and like I said; if it works for you then great. You posted the picture and invited comments, to me I think it would look great sprayed Milano Red to match the paint.

Look's a bit out of place to me - perhaps do the door handles too!

Great pictures, it looks miles better in red than grey. Good colour match.
I still like it in silver but it does look spot on in red too

Unknownsoldier · 30th October 2007, 18:32

Very Nice, I wouldn't mind that on mine, in NHB of course, I love the engine cover, looks very well done, do you spray for a living??????

Just needs the handles and some rages

All the best,
Tom

Yes **,I do spray for a living, had 20 years in the trade.

Unknownsoldier · 30th October 2007, 19:26

Thought so, it was too well done for an amateur (like me).

I like...........

If my NHB flap has the same finish as yours, I'll be over the moon.

Before someone quick posts a reply, I don't mean the same colour as yours.

All the best people
