Very nice paint job! Any plans to match the color on parts of the GS3?

Thanks

Yes. I had thought the side panels might be a bit excessive :)

So I will paint the group cap and the other ring orange. The black that they are painted now doesn't match the side panels anyway. I asked the guy at the paint shop if he thought the paint would be ok. it is automotive paint so should be able to take the heat was his advice.

To be completely anal, I was also going to paint the aluminum handle on my tamper orange too :) I will just put a few extra coats of clear to give me a bit more wear on it.

Although I could always get some glass side panels and paint some internals :)

And the PF handle too...? :) orange wiring inside with glass panels could look cool. Will definitely be a hot setup. Can't wait to see the complete finished product.

Looks sharp. I would be tempted to change the green light to another colour though.

maybe orange :)

I had thought of that, but I think my only other options are red and yellow.

Maybe a nice purple if I could find one. Or could go a clear lens and paint it myself. But that might be going a bit far.

I do like the glass panels, I am just not sure if they would make the trip intact to Australia. No one here stocks them. US Postal and Austrlia post tend to beat the hell out of most of my ebay purchases so not sure if I want to risk it.
