chalkboarding...

[pussmunky]

cant decide whether to chalkboard my car... if i did id get my wheels, chevrons, badges + mirror backs bright blue. opinions please? :)

[merc2546]

do it ;)

[pussmunky]

im tempted, its cheap and when done right i think it looks the dogs bollocks!

seen a proper nice one on here, munkyboy or somethin!

[ed-bradley]

Whats your paintwork like Currently?

If its in reasonable condition, and all one colour. I'd personally Leave it as it is.
I chalkboard painted mine, because It was crash damaged and had a mix and match front end. So chalkboard paint was the viable option.

Imho, it looks pretty wank. :) Unless done right, and shizz.
Expect to lose a fair bit of resale value aswell mate.

No Probz.

If the Bonnet needs a respray, Chalkboard that 1st..
To see if you're gonna like it. If not, you can always leave it as it is and just have the bonnet to piss about with if you ever get bored.

Meeh, My saxo's worth Feck all anyway. But I suppose its each to there own when it comes to valuing there possesions. :)

[pussmunky]

[ed-bradley]

True there.. Was the 1st thing I did as soon as I did it :D

[Furio-Gazza]

[pussmunky]

aha ahh right, are widemouths hard to do or..?

ano chap, maybe cut the roof of and turn it into a convertable? looool!
as long as your sand the paint down well you should get a good finish, more work what goes into the prep the better it will come out :y:

police made me get water and rub it off :L

[pussmunky]

lmao wonder what theyd class that as then? :L suppose it was a funny conversation though ayy?

[Furio-Gazza]

was at a set of lights and the police was on the other side of the road i went past and next min it swung around with lights on im like eh? wtf lol!
copper got out n went get out son, walked over to my bonnet and went do you think this is acceptable, i went hmmm guess not,
then he told me remove it with water and if he saw any bad jesters or drawings again on the car i will be givin a £60 fine :homme: looool

[pussmunky]

lmfao idiots! i got one telling me id been speeding because i changed from 1st to 3rd so my car was 'revving higher than usual' i were like erm yeah, didnt realise it was a crime... :\

[Furio-Gazza]

i had a 6k civic pal, never got stopped once in 4 months, in the saxo i got stopped between may and july9 times, for checks for insurance, licence and car was in working order, been breath checked 3 times lol, i do have a section 59 on me tho, comes off in july :)

[pussmunky]

so do i :\ lmao thats what he gave me paha and how long do they last then? i dont really understand um me...

[Furio-Gazza]

section 59 is if your been a right pain in the arse in there eyes, mine was for taking of at a set of lights to fast, rather silly in my eyes cos i wasnt breaking a speed limit and didnt wheel spin, but it lasts on you and the car for 1year, get another your car gets taken of you and have pay £120 to get it back and longer you leave it it goes up, think its £20 a per day, :y:

[pussmunky]

ahh right aha, i got told they crush your car? :L nice to know where i stand

[Furio-Gazza]

if you cant afford pay the cash to get your car back or it aint worth paying them the cash cos your car aint worth it, yeah you have the option to sign the car to them or you wait and pay the next day to get it back, pretty much pays for there xmas party do chap! lol

[pussmunky]

lmao yeahs true, loada um sat in a circle eatin doughnuts? :L

[Furio-Gazza]

lol yeah guess so,
but thats there jobs i guess,
