Car colour..

[char69lie]

my cars going in for a respray soon as been told my colour (gold) is crap for coverage and is really translucent so would need loads od paint.. and i cba to spend loads on a colour i would change if i could, just didnt know if anyone had any ideas on subtle but good looking colours?

factory black? resprays are like £1,200 right? make sur you get the engine bay done too or its gonna look shit when you come to sell it.

£1200? maybe my uncle has his own garage and spray booth so hes doing it and only chargingme for paint, bu thes told me to do the prep work and get the paint an dhe will spray it

Hmm it seems like the same amount if effort o get the extra money than to make sure I get everything sprayed

White or could get a pearlescent colour so looks normal colour until the sun comes out (not v.often I know) and it has a slight tint to it, makes people look twice!!
I had a decent respray on a mk3 golf and like above, make sure you get under bonnet, boot shut and door shuts done otherwise it looks proper s**t!I didnt think about it until the garage asked me and i was goin from glacier white to green illussion( blueish tint when sun shone). cost an extra couple hundred but made it look 1million times better!!

You'd be cheaper selling up and getting another vtr in a colour you wanted. As fowk have said if you dont get the engine bay and door shuts etc done then to me that'd be a bit weird looking.

To do all that though it needs to be stripped back to a near bare shell... hence why it'd be much easier get another car I reckon, specially since 90% of the final finish comes from the prep work (that it sounds like you'll be doing....)

[char69lie]

yeah i was going to spray it the same colour.. becuase i have moment when i hate it lol but im not certain on another colour so im not 100% on a change

paint it gold coverage is only shite if you dont know how to paint and use the wrong colour primer. i would stick with the gold and just had a gold xiralic or perl to the top coat make it look different and will shimmer and change colour in the sun.

White does look good, also a rare colour of Saxo :)

They do get dirty easy though and don't look as good as other colours when detailed well but hey ho :)
