But seriously, do it matte purple, then you can lamin-x the headlights

been playing with paint on the inside today. Decided to stop wasting my money, and wait until summer when I can afford to waste money and get it done semi properly, not just rattle canned...So probably me with a compressor and a gun....

Seen some very impressive results with a roller dude. Sounds pikey, looks pikey but the results are excellent. Lots of the cars I've seen done with rollers I've mistook for vinyl wrap it's so flat.
Disclaimer - Only works well with Matte paint finishes!

I was going to do the mazda matte red, but I need to be able to sell it relatively easily so a glossy car had to be done. Some of the military green one's are gorgeous though.

Yeah I don't think the resale value of my van is very high as it is....Hence the thinking of colour changes etc!

Anyone know where I can get a high lift jack / borrow one from? No time soon, but thinking I may lower the van myself as it seems very simple....
Maybe a good plan to buy a jack and some high stands but I'm skint...
Going to buy an 80mm lowering kit when I get a job and start WD40ing the crap out of the front torsion bars....

Yeah drivers side went on a treat, but the passenger side has a few bubbles in it so maybe coming off soon. Only £8 off egay for the pair so not bad!
