but it would have cost you money to spray it what ever colour the winner wanted, can you not offer it to the person below how won it?

then he'll get even less than £2k for it. May aswell spray it, then try selling it again. I know personally i'd not want to buy an dun-finished car unless it was from a reputable bodyshop. Fair play, we've all seen Flamingcorsa's work on his other car's, but chances are the bidders havent, and even still once he'd sprayed it if it weren't perfect, for all they know he could turn round and tell them to f**k off... bodyshops have done the same to paying customers .
Save some money, spray it with the Red you've got, it'll still stand out and be a nice car, and save you a bit of cash potentially . metalic red flakes/power would look mint too, much like on the RX8's (if you've not seen one close up, or when the suns shining on it, your missing out!)

not read it all since page 6 but
make sure you file an unpaid item dispute with ebay or you will still get charged the fees.

update, i have painted the car!
few days ago i painted it radient red, then waiting for the pearl to come, and got wrong one yesterday but the right on came this monring, had busy day at work but got outside to the car at half 10 tonight, its all painted and just taken most of the masking tape off, pretty happy with it, love the colour, the pearl powder is awsome stuff, u would not know it started life as boring radient red, looks so dull and lifeless when it was radient red!!!!
with the flakes looks cool, just going out to get few pics before i go to bed! uploading in a min!

NEXT quertion:-
1) do i tint all the lights fronts,rears,and side????? or leave them all
2) going to paint wheels but wot colour??? i was thinking fade the spokes in so spokes are dark and rest silve just make them look more dematic!! look boring now the wheels do!
wot u guys think?? iaz
and how much do i put it up for sale for once it has wheels painted etc etc

Superb colour, good choice! I think the wheels would look a darker colour, maybe Black with some sort of twist to it?
