I think orange would've been a bit too much, especially with such a bright colour

I seem to have found more people don't see you in an orange car lol.

Its definitely the best colour around though (faster than red too!)

Insects love it too, and spiders.

I'm finding that they also love bright green.

Monaro for weekends huh?

Unreal colour, good on you for having the vision to make it a little different. Looks stunning with the black and cannot wait to see the grill on. What are your plans for the grill? Straight polished or blackouts?

The HK is a customers car, dad owns a HQ though.

Not sure about the grill yet, i really do like the full polished look, but the blackouts might go with the theme of the car. Not sure yet.. will have to get some quotes for it to be re-done

Hi Ryan,

Great looking Torana, done to pefection.

Would it be too much to ask if you could weigh your Torana Shell weight as it is now, I would be very appreciative if you could. Best regards Dave I

I used Vinney's Electroplaters in Dandenong. Did a great job. 0411578940. Can't remember exactly coz he did heaps for me but I am thinking it was around $250.
