Doin time - Trust me, it looks better in the flesh, there's actually a blue pearl in the black which shows up nicely in the sun. The idea that I sold to the boss is the ability to adapt the side of the aircraft to suit the occasion, as we own a V8 Supercar team here in Aus and also a Champ Car team in the US these we can apply some decals to suit the event.
As you can see in the previous photos we also had a lot of the screws polished which break the black up a bit.
Scrumpyluvver - I'm sure it will get a little warm but then a few minutes with the a/c on fixes that. Our last one had a lot of black on it and it was fine with the a/c on.
Floppy Link - I got the exhaust tip polished which should turn a nice golden colour once we fire it up.
