looks good mate
i sprayed my redline in that exact same colour

make sure you keep it nice and warm while it is drying

dont forget that spray can paint takes a week to harden - stick it in the airing cupboard

Looks like a pro-job that.

once the paints hardened don't forget to get some good wax polish on it.

Not sure, I did not paint mine, I had it done for me, Biagio arranged it all and it came out amazing, I would not trust myself to try something like that
