Legal to paint/customise the appearance of your car?

Is this legal in Ireland and will the NCT accept it?

Perfectly Legal......although if you change the over all colour of the car you should use an RF111 form to have the VLC (Log Book) altered. You can download a copy of the form and see what you think.

The OP is an artist, should be safe:p

What is the car and do you have a sample pictures, Cliffordhatch?

I wouldn't mind having a look at your project before you start:D

Yeah if you do decide to go ahead, start a thread in here and people can follow the work on it.
