I like the idea of being different, but I think green might look a bit out of place on mine!

I'll stick with blue I think. Subtle. Although red looks quite good also.....

i dont think green will look good on a blue fez but it might just work out on mine... and i'm willing to try it out xD I just don't have the time to paint up and not use the car for a whole day or so. ..

Is it worth sanding them down a bit first? or will it not make a blind bit of difference?

just use a wire brush to get the loose stuff off and that should do.
