New Paintjob

After a lot of toyin with the idea of getting a exige i finally decided to keep the vx. My major problem with the car was the poor quailty of the paint finish,

so now that i was keeping it the car was booked into chipsaway in glasgow for a full respray. As the car was going to be in the bodyshop I ordered the turbo bodykit which could be painted at the same time, also getting painted are the window surround and wheels both of which are going to be black. I was planning on keeping the car yellow mostly to keep cost down but also wanting something a little different, which is why i finally decided on a brillant yellow basecoat and after looking at some sample cards a green pearl clearcoat

. Sounds stupid but on the car it looks great, when you stand a couple of meters away it seems to have a kind of light blue shimmer when in the sunlight.

will post up some more when i get it back

What do you think?

Can't really tell from the pics, should be good tho

How much is the full respray costing if you don't mind me asking?

The cars always been yellow but the paintwork was disgraceful

On the subject of price I got a ok deal on it as a couple of friends work there so i could nt guess how much he would take but i cant imagine it being that much more than i paid.

^^^^^ bugger

i'd have been interested in a group buy too. i have a few paint chips that could do with a total respray and colour change!
