seeing as im going for a bit of a transform this year, ive hit a dialemma

at the moment, just about every part of my car is a different shade of green and id LOVE for a full respray and keep it another year as it would be different again from the past 3 years

as it stands, im going to have to respray at least the rear 1/4s and bonnet as these need doing

i dont know if i should prime them up, and gradually do the rest of the car bit by bit, then one weekend put the full top coat on and have it all all out the way

if i did, id go for a different colour (my 1st question is what colour tho)

and 2nd question is should i do it, or prep it all up and pay some1 to finish it off?? i dont have much time as i only get 1 day a week, and cant afford a respray as i got 2 pay 4 myself going back to uni september

any1 know of any companies looking for demo cars for paints etc?? the bodywork is sound, stands out a mile, just needs a respray

cheers

marv

dont just spot prime bits, if you just prime it will rust underneath with time essecially this time of year.

thinking about splitting the car now as im fed up, need something else now so i can concentrate on ICE

most cost efective way will be to split everything bar rims, coilovers and brakes and buy a gsi

Well mate i think u should keep her and get a respray, not sure what colour would suit her like!
If it was primed up your looknig at about 500 for a bodyshop to respray it.
Got any colours in mind??
