So I managed to get around to painting the front and side skirts a couple of weekends back with the before/during/after results shown in the attached photos.

Overall I am pretty happy with how it all turned out: ended up going 3 coats primer, many top coats, and 3 coats clear coat. The only annoying bit really was that I couldn't get the rear spats off, so ended up just painting them in situ. Turned out ok, just more time consuming lol

Future plan is to paint the brake calipers orange and am also considering actually changing the front lip back to black haha will see if it grows on me but atm it just seems a bit too white now ironically lol
Anyway, open to any and all comments

Next tinkering plan is to ditch the gear boot and replace with DIY Perspex H-pattern so I can get my geek on and see the shifter linkage
