Painting cover of PC-3 plate chokes

Turned out ok.

Looks great. I love the red and silver combination - very chic!

 I agree. Sometimes the color combinations just work. That is good news since I know that you put a lot of work into this project.

Thanks. It's by no means perfect, but it's better than it was before. The MQ choke frames were not pretty. I'm also glad I decided not to paint the black parts, since these look quite nice next to the red frames.

But lemme tell you. This is no substitute for building a kit, and I'm so itching to build one. It's been over a year for me.

I really want to do my Quickie base, but I have no clue what would really look nice with the yellow plate. Maybe a glossy grey? Silver?  White?

Yeah - yellow and grey look great together!

I'm currently planning a Mainline build (still a little way off - don't have the kit yet, but I can dream!  ). Thinking of going with an anodised blue chassis plate with chrome bell and maybe a natural wood finish with just a light oil or varnish. If I get really ambitious (courageous?) I might add a routed, blue pinstripe to the base.

  And if you find that yellow is something that you don't want to work with, it can be painted or as I saw here awhile ago, a kind of vinyl covering.
