I`m getting this idea
« on: 14 July 2015, 23:23:45 »
that I want to reoaint the roof on my rare silver car.  :D

She`s not worth anything now I know, but having flung the best part of £400 at her for the mot.
I`m keeping her with just 45.321 miles on the clock she`s my baby so there.
but what colour, my Mum had a 2 tone consul dluxe with a sort of pale blue roof & a dark blue body.
Bloody silver what will go with that ??? I need someone with computer skills on changing the colours about  :y Swmbo says I`m bonkers & need to eat more fruit. Nana yellow  ??? Black maybe.

When I was looking around, you got two types of places, sometimes prices. The first was £1000-1200 which was a blow over and we never want to see you again. The second was £1800-2400 and came with a guarantee, in my mind they are charging for 2 full resprays and if they never see you again - winner.

Nitro's bright red Omega has just been in for a new 'overcoat'. PM him....I doubt he will make it common knowledge on here what it cost, because he will be scared Carole (Mrs Nitro) will find out ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'll get shot down in flames for this.....but here goes.

I think a star silver Omega would look impressive with a seventies BVR. :y

Think Cortina 2000 GXL...... or Capri 3000 GTXLR. :y

About a grand for a lick of paint all over...

For that sort of money you would be lucky if they washed it first!

I bought a litre of Z147 base-coat(I already have all the other necessities) about a month ago, and was unpleasantly surprised to find it was over fifty quid!

Respray it in black and it will instantly gain 200bhp, and be a "fast black one" :D

How much? I'm sure it wasn't anything like that last time I bought some.
