Well my car was looking a bit tired with the paint work so took the plunge and got her repainted, plus I have done a few modifications to the body as well....... So when I got home from work today gave her a rinse off then gave her a good wash and dried her off.......

Thanks Danny she's not quite finished on the front end yet, just need to get the slam panel welded in then she is done.

Thanks guy's, got it done for £800 but should have cost £2500 and that was for a full outside body respray including dent removal (x5) and rust removal (x6) and treated before she was sprayed over.

I bet i will look even better with a better camara, not too sure what colour it is supposed to be but you got yourself a bargain on the paint job.
Plase post some better pics asap so we can drool properly

Webby the Bear · « **Reply #10 on:** 11 March 2011, 00:13:31 »

mate how much was the whole respray? and was it the whole car???

VX1 · « **Reply #11 on:** 11 March 2011, 19:54:30 »

Yes it was the whole outside of the car and I got the whole re-spray for £800 but it should have cost £2500.

VX1 · « **Reply #12 on:** 11 March 2011, 20:09:42 »

Sorry about the quality of the pics at the start of the thread so here are some better quality pics the prep and the finished product

o-meg-a · « **Reply #13 on:** 11 March 2011, 20:57:52 »

cracking paint finish, i imagine you are very pleased.
I'm not sure that i would personally be able to justify a full respray at such cost for a car that is worth comparatively less, but if you are indeed planning on keeping the car for the considerable future then I would understand your reasons for doing it.

I dont think i've had any car longer than a year and most of the for around 6 months lol. I think i have a short car attention span haha.

please please please

ffcgary1 · « **Reply #19 on:** 15 March 2011, 00:58:58 »

Very nice paint there, but got to say spoilt slightly by the over tinted rear lights, can you see the red stop light or tail light for that matter?
Just saying that to bring it to your attention in regards poor rear lights, dark night, car shunts you up the chuffer, all that work spoilt but still looks fantastic.

twiglet · « **Reply #20 on:** 17 March 2011, 10:20:12 »

Paintwork looks flawless in the pictures mate!

The rear lights are good at night and the brake lights can be seen during the day time as well so no problems there.

And looks the same in the flesh matey.

I'm having the slam panel fitted and welded in tomorrow so she will be done as far as the front end is finished. After that has been done the engine will see a couple of mods as well so nearly finished.

Nathan · « **Reply #22 on:** 19 March 2011, 11:18:44 »

Looking good and a lot of work has gone into the car to make it the way it is today..... so well done

Only minus point for me is the smoked rear lens but that is your preference ans so be it

Well done mate

tonyyeb · « **Reply #23 on:** 19 March 2011, 12:24:07 »

Yeah, really nice job.
Congrats to you - like to see uneconomic money being spent on these cars - demonstrates a certain love and commitment, and guarantees that a few more will survive for longer.

Well done, mate...

lol if people keep stripping the migs there wont be many left....

mines going to get a spray soon i hope lol

vx your car is mint buddy love seeing it all shiney and new every week

VX1 · « **Reply #25 on:** 29 March 2011, 21:04:59 »

There is only one thing I do hate and that is the mindless, inconsiderate, self centered, not so careful people that just love to scratch other peoples' car when it looks so nice and clean. I have had the car back 3 weeks and the amount of slight scratches that are over the car already and a couple of very small dents as well this is what really hurts me that i have taken the time and money to get her looking like this and then some mindless idiots do this to the car

Plus I have changed the rear lights back to the original smoked ones so looks alot better now.

ted_one · « **Reply #26 on:** 29 March 2011, 21:44:19 »

I'm with you on this one,I work at Heathrow and we have a big staff car park with reasonable sized bays but I've lost count of the times that I've had to climb in the passenger side because some kind person has parked so close that the door mirrors are nearly touching,and like you I don't pick up on those mystery scratches until I'm cleaning the car but I know where they came from because the car does'nt go any where but to work.I'm waiting to catch someone doing it,trouble is I know I'm gonna go into one and probably lose my job!!

[size=12]I know what you mean nitro, but hey ho what can you do apart from wrapping the car in bubble wrap...[/size] [size=8]Just going off down to the local storage place to get lots of bubble wrap.[/size]

Lesopc · « **Reply #28 on:** 02 April 2011, 15:47:22 »

Very neat, great spray job. Not too often you see a Pre-facelift/Facelift Hybrid but looks great.

ffcgary1 · « **Reply #29 on:** 02 April 2011, 18:33:57 »

I saw this car today, and have to say that the pics still do not do this car justice, it is simply stunning and the paint is like a mirror, then his pal turned up in an ex plod 3.0 and that has had a make over as well and makes white cars look cool.
His dad also has an explod car and that is undergoing a refreshment course.
When these are all finished they will make a stunning photo with the black car in between 2 white cars.
Good to meet you this morning chris and keep up the good work.

Gary.

VX1 · « **Reply #30 on:** 02 April 2011, 22:08:33 »

Gary, just thought I better let you know that the car you saw today was steve's car and the white one is his brothers car, I wasn't there mate sorry. I did chuckle quite alot though

PhilRich · « **Reply #31 on:** 03 April 2011, 20:31:04 »

Absolutely stunning car Chris! Total Respect for the effort & money put in to make the old girl look so good.

VX1 · « **Reply #32 on:** 04 April 2011, 19:31:54 »

just wondering who this chris is with the stunning car with the facelifted front end and the new paint job on his mig

Paint job looks brilliant, liking the smoothed rear end?

Miggylover · « **Reply #35 on:** 14 April 2011, 11:33:40 »

Looks a very tidy job. It's good to see people putting a bit of money and effort into their miggys. Just because it might seem un economical to do at the end of the day if you love you car and plan on keeping it then it's well worth while doing. Also just because values of omegas have plummeted due to the price of fuel, it doesn't make them any less awesome cars.

Love the spray booth by the way

. Is it owned by an enthusiast or a pro?
