Clinton Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Well done, does look very nice! Can i ask...if you get your whole car resprayed but the same colour, does that mean it is a cheaper job and doesnt have to be done as well since its the same colour...? Or is that the stupidest thing asked ever and ofcourse its just as expensive and has to be done just as professionally??

[OOPS][/OOPS] my supra before it went into the bodyshop had 5 different shades of super red all over the car red and super red 1,2,3,4 so the car was not done the same color just re-sprayed to 1 color which is super red 4. done the job for £1200 and he is highly recomended from allot of people, who gave me his number so i could get her finished properly.

That does sound quite cheap, my paintwork is not in that bad condition, was just wondering if it was an easier job just doing a sort of spray over with the same colour to get it looking new again to cover up imperfections and stone chips...wishful thinking i suppose.

Kev_A Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Looks a very good job mate, IMHO there's too much going on at the front end, with all the angles on the bumper combined with that bonnet it looks too......fussy, not my car though, if you're happy with it that's what counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Can't say I like it mate, sorry and no offence meant The bonnet doesn't fit too well (massive panel gaps) and the whole thing looks too fussy. It needed a repaint there's no doubt about that, but could have been better spent getting the lights and other stuff sorted out, instead of sticking fibreglass to it.
