gutting stat to the day/new year wi the scoob already -

got scoobyworld mudflaps for xmas from the missus (she knows me well) and took the car over to the parents driveway while they went out to fit them, also tok off front grill cause i noticed something i wanted to ask you fine folks but back to that in a min,

neway get all the parts from the pack out and organised into piles and groups (bit anal retentive ) and then procede to stick the sti decals to the flaps , afterwards jack the car up take off all the wheel nuts on the first wheel get to the secure bolt and when i go to remove that the socket doesnt grip the bolt , folks are away and the old man has the socket set in the car proced to put all nuts back on lower car down and just as ive tidyed up put everything away go to start the car and the battery is dead :(

so now whave to wait for the parental units to get home to i can hook the scoob up to the old mans car wi the jump leads :(

very bad start to the new year gutted and no mud flaps fitted .

now for the paint question ,---- looking through the grill i see these parts and wonder what paint i can use to put them back to being black again.

No idea on the engine side of things but the paint question i can answer... I've used the good old Airfix Matt Black paint for the horn and hidden bits before, even painted a set of wiper arms in it. Never had any problems with using it and it's easy to touch up, comes in small pots and is cheap! :icon_salut:
