Cobalt blue over asteroid silver two tone combo is flashier version of the coveted indigo over mercury combo.

Matching rear bullbar will make em' think twice about rear ender

Wow thats definitely different. Dont think ive ever seen a bonet quite like that before. Not a bad pqint job mate

It's an XB GS bonnet, split down the guts, so I could fit the Corvette L88 style bonnet scoop on and not cover the front vents...After that photo was taken, I put chrome vents in, just to add a bit more chrome into the car

I'd love to take credit for laying the paint on, but a mate did that job....My current VC I laid the paint...It's Brittanica Blue (VE commodore/Holden Cruise), which was a slight mistint, hence paying $90 for 4 litres, with 1/2 a litre of silver mixed in, just to lighten the colour....

Here's a side on shot of the car

How the interior was done, but since then I have changed the door cards to SLX/SLE style...But gives an idea how it was matched up

People getting hurt in car accidents I don't find very funny and common sense would tell you, the way I described it someone would have bound to be hurt....

You'd be surprised the number of numbskulls want to try it out on the front... :)

This thread is a perfect example of why some people shouldnt touch angle grinders.


The VH Maroon with Red/Claret interior looks good and isnt overdone on the red in my opinion.
