On the subject of improving the cars general looks, I once hand painted a Morris Marina with Woolworths red gloss, using a 2" brush. I used the same car for mini-cabbing about 4 hours later and everyone thought I had an expensive respray - until they got closer than 100yds then they just laughed a lot.

No taste some people! 8-)
