Hello, while at Nuburgring I was advised to get and spray some red paint on my front and rear valance as they are a non colour. Any ideas what the spray paint was called? hameritte?

what you mean by "non colour" ??

[Dom]

It isnt a colour, it hasn't been sprayed the right colour.

er... e.g. in the pic under the bumper it is colourless where as other peoples are have it the same colour as the main body.

thats not the subframe

thats the rear valence.

that is the rear valance, normal spray paint will cover it, we all thought you wanted to paint your subframes!

ah right, oops!

the front valance also needs some touch up paint.

what do you recommend.

Mate, Just go to halfords and give them the code which is on the VIN plate under the bonnet on the left hand side of the engine.

They will give you the can of spray paint to match. they can also match you some touchup paint in a brush applied form. but if its a lot what needs touching up (I.e. bigger than a £2 coin) then Id advise you just to spray it. that way it will blend a little bit. after all, tis only the Valance, Dosent matter if its not perfect.

I painted both of mine with blue hammerite, THEN Sprayed OVER the hammerite with the correct shade of blue. Dosent look perfect, but its damn good enough. And I can kiss good bye to rust. :tongue:
