The Folia Tec red is as you can see in the pics of my car on here Chris. Its a nice, glossy, bright red like the interior on your car/like the R badges on a Civic Type R so its as red as you can get. Nothing pink about it.

it dries nice and smoothly too...

Hope that helps.

Red! I almost did them in black and I'm glad I went for red. As one of my mates said, all sports car's have red calipers!

I've got some of those S2000 metal logo's too if you're interested?

Uh, ok, red it is!

Was thinking of going for white actually. Are the decals ok on their own or do they need a laquer over the top?

You can just put them on and I've heard they are ok as they are but I've lacquered over mine just to make sure they stay in place. the lacquer also give it a super glossy finish too.

I've not seen white but I'd guess that they'd be a bit of a bugger to keep clean.

I meant white decals, not white calipers. They'd look nice with a GPW car though!

Did the clear laquer come in the kit or did you buy separately?

Cheers
Chris
