bmx1lew Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 when you have a job like yours above, do you have to respray the whole car? Lew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally yes mate otherwise its hard to get a good colour match unless your car is black then it not so hard . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Nice mate, like the color myself. Always liked the idea of removing wiper, looks a lot cleaner. Not many relise the amount of work that goes into resprays and to think I do that 6 days a week. O the headaches when things go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Nice work Matt, what is the colour? something you made up yourself? or is it some of Churchils finest, looks much better all blended, are you sticking with the std spoiler?
