I wasn't doing an event this weekend so just played around a bit

 

bueno, i like your scheme you have going on there.

 

yes it is red and black alright ...
however for the track / auto-x i have now added HIGHLIGHTER YELLOW morrors and my rims for race tires will also be YELLOW

 

What is the paint you used on the down tubes and how exactly did you paint them? I'm assuming spray paint?

 

It is spray paint.
From ACE hardware (ACE , BANNER RED)
Man it is a close match

I removed the down tubes and did a very fine light sand with 220 paper.
primed and, 3 coats the last one being WET (read a bit heavy)
they were so nice I didnt clear coat.

I paint with the item inside a cardboard box (NO DUST)

 

i like this mod better than your caps!!
now im thinking of painting mine pw..mm that would look nice indeed.

 

Cool...good job. They look like there is a clear coat on them in the pic!

 

Lookin' pretty sweet.

 

Reminds me of something ...

 

Looks cool.

BTW, pass me my shades.

 

Hmmmm.... I painted the switch rings on two of our MINIs chili red to match the dash but hadn't considered trying to remove the downtubes and painting to match. I may take this next step once it cools down here in a couple of months. I like the look

 

looks sweet.. nice mod...
