Full dip - full respray.

its not getting done in the door shuts or under bonnet, basically everything you can see on the outside is getting done.

I had a full repaint for £900

It included some rust repairs and general tidying of the body, slam panel and door shuts.

Couldn't really fault the job 3 years later

i dont know why anyone would pay for a respray imo i think spending 1500 on a car worht not much than that is a waste,yes like most mods to but it cant be recouped unlike an engine which could be sold on or an exhaust say, just my opion like

Like i said before, you get what you pay for

I have not seen another arden blue with as much depth as mine, even parked next to brand new VXR's mine still looked a better finish

i dont! i just dont feel its worthwhile when peole can get almost as good results with a few polishing products and a few hours graft, id be the first to admit cars look great with a fresh coat but i could justify the money, guess its similar for those that want to spend 2000 odd quid on insuraing a car the similar price

yes, but saying you dont see the point of a full respray on an old car is a bit silly IMO

depends what you class as old, for me 25 years is old not 10, not saying its silly just not very cost effective which is my opinion

@ polish products... I did'nt know these removed little dings ect on the shell from the previous owner.
Personally mine is a weekend toy and a show car for the summer and a hobby for that matter. We've all got the spend our money on something as we cant take it with us can we.
What do you spend your money on... I certainly wont give you a 3rd degree on saying its a waste if you enjoy doing it.....

if you think a few dings and swirl marks are worth the money fair play to you, im not giving you the third degree just trying to justify my point when asked to,
