Ambidex

Post by Jeremy Croxall »

Here's my Ambidex stripped ready for painting.
It's a 4FP and should be painted with a blue body and silver rotor but I'm not a fan of this colour scheme.
Any suggestions as to what colour it could be painted as an alternative to the original colours?
Your views would be appreciated!

My Mk 6 is all blue which is the original finish. A little less flashy than a two colour reel, but I like it like that.

I agree, the original two tone colour was lacking in imagination at J.W's, and not the best thought they had.

If you are dispensing with originality go for a colour, any colour :tea:

Think it's going to be black!
