Comments on the best colour please

This would have to be the funniest PhotoShop hack I have seen in quite a while.

Thanks for the laugh.

It's not all about bright colours, very subtle nice touch up here:

yeh I previously did those hubs as well but it's not uncommon, many people choose to get calipers painted due to rust and it's unsightly looks - I should post up more before photos but usually too lazy to take pics.

Looks like you have been taking a short cut through a river!
