The depth and shine in that paintwork is scary



BUT as said i'm sure you could get a respray for cheaper.

Wouldn't you rather have original paint on something like that though?

A Respray on a Arnage will set you back serious bucks this is not a Fiesta your local body shop can spray!

Saw this the other day and still impressive looking at it again.

I know someone in a shed behind our local butchers, he would do it for £800 cash in hand.

If you wanted to have the same quality paint job as the car had when it left the factory, you're going to be spending more than £6k on it.

This shot really surprised me: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/Bentley%20Arnage/C085.jpg

There is no way you could ever deny that it is MUCH better now. Obviously it would have cost a lot for him to spend 155 hours on it, but on a car like that it really is worth it.

Btw, nice to see you around Murray

yes

Is it a company (wedding car) or a guy that gets driven about in it - going by the comments about 'drivers' and the wedding ribbon marks

From the comments I remember reading yesterday, its a guy who gets driven around and had used it a week or 2 prior for his wedding hence ribbons

Reading the full thing; it sounds as if its a guy that gets driven about and he lent it to a friend for their wedding a few weeks previously so not normally a wedding car

Yeah he said some of his drivers had used car washes etc.

Amazing difference, the 50/50 shots show it all.

Id hate to have to drive it home though through that snow, id wrap it up in a big blanket and put it on a truck lol
