Default Showing off again: My newly rebuilt Konis with fresh paint!

Beautiful, right? Sprayed with matching yellow base with a clear. I'll be putting new Koni decals on them so any insects oogling at the car from below will know how I roll.









In the morning I will reassemble them and put them on the car! Can't wait!

Looks great! If you get jealous about the view the bugs get, pick up one of those selfcontained video cameras that you can mount just about anywhere. Would be great to see the suspension in action!

You know what would really be showing off?
A video of your car driving around the block!

Looks great! Just the inspiration I need to get mine done.

Any particular yellow to look for? I seem to remember someone in another thread doing theirs in "school bus" yellow or was it John Deere yellow?

"school bus" is the colour they recommend, but I simply brought the inserts to the paint shop and told them to match it.
