the CHR logo my boy!

Getting 449 blue will cost money, I have, silver, white and black and maybe sky blue handy.

I have 5 cam covers so will try a colour and see what its like.

Theres a black one but its chipping off and is a flat horrible black, I reckon 50 billion coats of paint will give a nice deep shine.

doesnt have to be proper 449 does it, just get something fairly close like i did, think i got renault electric blue (available in big £3.99 cans everywhere)

Looks pretty much the same colour when its in the bay and not directly next to a body panel

Chris Hall Racing. Some plonk on RSC designed him one, although I'm sure my 5 year old sister could have done better. Get your mum to do you one Chris.

I painted the rocker on my energy red, really crud finish cause I used heat resistant radiator paints.... but it still looked good from a distance... especially against the white.
