The Silver Arrows posted a video on their social media with one paint pot being mixed together to make the unmistakable national orange of the Netherlands.

They simply posted a caption that read 'imagine' accompanied by a paintbrush emoji and an orange dot to hint at how their cars might look when they line up on the grid this weekend.
