Re-spray

what colour should i get my cabby re-sprayed, i fancy mettalic? (currently white) also where can i get paint cheap?
Cheers guys!

Keep it the same colour, there is nothing wrong with white and I think the all white cabby look great with the small bumpers and coloured arches, Just my opinion, but I think Unless you're doing a show stopper then best to stick to the original colour that way the engine bay and door shuts are all the same and you get to keep all your stickers too likr the one in the boot, which i'm sure you can't replace :dontknow:

i agree with you mate just look at this minter and white is a really nice colour especially with the decal detail.in black class..

that looks ace  8) love those BBS'

Very nice 8)

Tis very nice but……………….i've already put a clipper kit on and slammed it 60 mm so i was thinking maybe a metallic colour, any ideas???

Think i have to agree with the rest - keep it original (even though i'm not keen on white cars).

At the end of the day it's your choice.

If you want to change the colour then you don't want to be buying paint yourself over the counter, because the kind of paint you'll need to do a really good job isn't available to joe public. Then you'll need the right environment to paint it in.

Basically getting a few litres of your favorite colour over the counter from apec and getting a mate with a compressor to paint it for you in his garage is likely to lead to disappointment, especially as you want a metallic colour.

I'd stick to white too, if it need any work doing its an easy colour to work with once you get an accurate match.

You know it makes sence keep it the same colour.If the paint is a bit shabby then just have a fresh re paint in the same colour.What ever you do dont go and ruin it with any candy flip, metal flake rubbish you would just be wasting your money especially when it comes to sell

How about black?
Ps its being done by a pro!  :wink:  (not me)

Im thinking of doing mine pure white with a dash of am95 (brite fine aluminium ) and a hint of am755 (chrystal pearl) i just need to keep playing with the ratio so it looks normal plain white but a hell of a lot shinier and deeper when the sun hits it . Besides youdont see many metalic whites these days . Check out chrome paint . com , you could do it glow in the dark white !!!!

If its done right white pearl can be stunning.
Also goes well with any chrome you may wish to add.

How much work have you done on the car?

Normally cheaper to sell and buy one the colour you want if it's available as standard, which black is!

 I thinks this will stand out

sweet!! Do that!

mmmmmmmmmm, defo if i had the cash!

Paint work aint about the cash its about the patience . would cost about 120 quid in paint to do the yellow . PS i have lots of chrome and black to add to the pearl white paintwork !!!
