Yeah I decided to go down the matt black route matey.

Although I only resprayed it last year my car had scratches and all sorts due to idiots and I wasnt happy with it.

Because of my budget this was the best option plus soon I will be going down the track route so matt black is easy to mantain and practicle for a track car. Thanks mate.
