I thought I'd try and lighten up the standard Tie Interceptor paint work. I didn't bother removing the old paint, rather just went over it with a very light coat of lighter grey, then re-washed and touched up… it ended up looking still close to the original but lighter in shade…

Nice. What about the red stripes? If I would repaint a Tie/In, I would add them.

Pretty nice – very clean and a good wash – stuff like that almost makes me take paint brush in hand
