Re: Paints, Spraying and stone chip protection

["Andy Holmes" <scalainj@hotmail.com>]

Not the grille - but the VW logo in the grille - currently a curious 
silver/black mottle effect due to chipping.

I don't want to remodel the indicators - just change the colouring so i was 
thinking "smoke" paint on clears

My Scala has the standard "smoke/black" rear clusters and smoked side 
repeaters so i just wanted it to match.
