Tonic Blue Paint Scheme Advice

I'm currently driving a Fiesta Mk6 Zetec 1.25 in Tonic Blue.

I just want to smarten it up abit as I'm going fordfair later this year.

So far:

Debadged - other than the Ford Logo

Sprayed Brake drums - Green

Sprayed the Airbox - Green

Number plate lights - Bright White

Mainly I was wondering as its a difficult colour to do colours for what would look well as a colour scheme for this car.

I was thinking of doing the original 7 spoke alloys Black this weekend and going with a black and Green theme on the car.

Just wanted people's opinions as its a "Tonic Blue"

Thankyou!

    I don't know about the green... In my opinion drum brakes should only ever be black so they aren't noticed! Haha. First thing I did was paint my drums.. but then I got carried away and painted my calipers red ;). I'm going to Ford fair too! Where you travelling from?

    Fair enough! If you paint the calipers, spend half a day on prep! Rust is a bugger! & i travelling from Bridlington

    Yeahh i spent a long time prepping the drums as there was so much rust on the but once sanded down coats of primer and then final final green coat went on fairly easy!

    Just hoping that my alloys turn out decent on the weekend!

    Then just get myself some gel overlays (black and green)

    Ahh okay fair enough!
