right after getting rid of my baby back in 05 I got a new corsa for the grand price of 400
fitted a fiberglass bonnet, cerasos, sportex system and gmax 60 mm suspension kit
then re sprayed wheels yellow for some odd reason
then some one pulled out into me
set about repairing it and was gonna paint her black then came the fun part got lil bit drunk one night and ordered some ford signal yellow paint and that weekend another drunk weekend we started to strip her and paint her ourselves

then went off on holiday and left her like this
and yes I did it with a roller
after a month or so moved into our new workshop and finished her off
just after that had to change her engine due to piston rings going so got a newer 1.4 lump cheap
fitted some lovely v6 callipers and disks
and this is how she stands atm
just waiting on new parts to arrive then I shall update

Wasn't it some guy on here that restored a old car and painted it with a roller, and got a epic finish?
Put the work in and anything is possible.
I saw your previous thread, and have seen you around chelmsford loads of time, always been in my Clio.

You all laugh at the roller method but if you can't spray it works wonders. My sisters old KA had those shitty grey bumpers that went all faded in the sun and nothing would bring them back, heatgun, any product.
Dad bought some 'Grey Bumper Paint' off eBay and started putting on with the sponge they supplied with it, looked shit. So I bought a Tesco Value mini roller and painted it on with that, looked brilliant tbh
