March 7, 200620 yr I have new rear plastic for my 03 315 but I want to "fix up" the old one a bit to use for practice. I could prob make it look OK using silver or black , but wondered if anyone knows a close match to the red. eg FORD XYZ red which I can buy at an Autoparts store in a spray can.
March 8, 200620 yr Don't think i would spray it, cos the first time it bends, the paint will just crack, craze and probably fall off

March 9, 200620 yr Sorry, i only had a 99 &03, they were both coloured plastic, black and red. I could be wrong.if your dad's 01 is painted. It would have to be an extremely flexible paint, probably with added plasticiser. Still wouldn't advise it! Edited March 9, 200620 yr by monty-python
March 9, 200620 yr I used to race radio controlled cars and used to paint the very flexible plastic bodyshells with spraypaint and they used to get a good hammering and the paint never fell off. You shoukd be able to use Lexan pain with good results but as always it is all in the preparation.
