i am now getting near painting the underside of the dart and need suggestios as to what colour to do-

is body colour the norm or just black it all?

being Y3 yellow at the moment would it look yuk on all the underneath?

your opinions are greatly appreciated,cheers

ps- it is coated in grey schutz at the moment.

From factory they were a dark Grey colour, if you want to go for the resto factory look

Don't forget the overspray all around the edges Jim!

cheers guys,i presume the "dark grey" is the almost charcoal colour i noticed under the trunk floor when i removed the tank.

it would probably look quite good against the yellow

anyone else ?..................

My Challenger is yellow and I painted all of the shell, bay, trunk, shuts, interior floorpan, underside, all in one go. I don't care about originality, I just wanted it to be super clean underneath so that I could do work and inspect stuff easily, and I'm pleased I took the effort to do it. Makes working on it a pleasure and I can spot any faults quickly

thanks Adrian-still not sure.

i did go to a car paint place today but they said i can only have the y3 in 2 pak paint

and would need airfed mask etc.
or they could mix near and give me brush on acrylic.
thats what started me on the satin black theme.

can i buy the Y3 online in aerosol anywhere?

Nice bit of overspray, looks like it was done by a pro

I'd have thought you'd want to steer clear of a light body colour unless you fancy keeping it clean

Sounds a nice idea but could be a pain in reality.

Lovin the look of Mas' underside

thanks for all the input-looking at Mas`s underside think i will go with the dark grey-one trip to the pod if its raining and yellow just aint gonna work.

it would look nice with loads of bits of black rubber on it tho
