That's a nice design AHC. I'd prefer darker and much brighter shared of red though.
@saubhagyab - you can also try black and silver combination too.

I am going for matte black and red combo plus will try black and grey as suggested by freakdude.

Gloss can be added afterwards as will because it just another layer of paint... But first i will try mate black as my roof is also matte..

what do you suggest himalayan?

Here is a combo freak dude suggested...

I like it... But after seeing the black my heart is going towards all black...

Please put in some feedbacks...

 

[himalayan3009]

Re: DIY For My Hyundai i10 - Updates

yes, i will too suggest you to go for full black. i liked the black part but not the white one. (IMO)

Re: DIY For My Hyundai i10 - Updates

can you check with red as well maybe that will look good. i can't say how full black will look without seeing it on the car.

May be this could help you allhyundaicars.. It is masked pic but you can get an idea off all black.. Please let me know.. For me it looks better than the grey & black.

Yes you are absolutely correct all black will definitely look better than this..

My last try tomorrow would be using the red and black combo. Lets see how it looks.

After all these three I will decide what to go for.

Quite an outcome you have here buddy! Very neatly done. Make sure, once it dries up well, wet sand it with the finest grit paper very gently. This woyld even out any undulations in the paint.

All black definitely looks good but on alloys and that too with multispoke designs and all black looks even better when there's a lip to it. You can try all black and if it looks fine to you then that is all that matters. I'd suggest you add bright silver or bright red to the grooves.

Give a try to Red as well, otherwise you can always use another matt black can.

Yes Surely bro yesterday I didn't get a chance to buy the red can. Today I will and try it on one of these.

I agree with you bro. I will definitely give red a try.

You can do it without primer as well as but the paint stick better on primer.
