i love flip paint
personally i prefer lighter colours on something like a transit so it doesnt overpower
orange/yellow with a touch of candy apple red would be my weapon of choice,never sprayed this type of paint though as im a tightwad :oops: :D :D
tis eye leclair


mk5 flareside with taillift and im keeping it

any way for those that think flip paint costs the earth there is another type you can get,evern in spray cans and it costs just the same as normal paint,all you need is a white base coat then spray the paint and once you add lacqer it has this affect
