Getting A Respray


Recommended Posts

Posted

im getting a respray in a few weeks, but I cant make my mind up on what colour I want?

dunno whether to stick with black, and add some kind of effect i.e purple pearl or silver metal flake.

Or go for a complete colour change, dark mettalic purple or gold with a purple flake?...or silver with a purple flake.

I dont know what to do...please help :blink::wacko:

I'm thinking the same thing mate. I'll be having a respray by the end of the year. Just don't know what colour either.

Silver with a purple flake might look nice.

btw, was taking to your ex bird earlier on.

Go for a dash of corporation cream, good old magnolia gloss.........at least it would be different :P

Candy Yellow :D

Nah im with jim i recon silver with the purple flake would look "Raz". Depends what you want at the end of the day. I go for somthin damn eye catchin but i like gettin the looks.

What would a respray cost you?

Posted

what does candy yellow look like ?? I was thinking of going a pearlecenty yellow.


Posted

don't know how to explane candy yellow. i think what you were thinkin about is about the same. i would say it was just damn bright, shiney the colour of those live strong bands but not mat if you know what i mean.

What does the one you suggested look like jim?

I like the sort of chameleon effect, like the tvr's have, not sure what its called though, infact you're probably talking about it already :wacko:

I'm a bit sick of flip paint tbh... might go for candy yellow/pearlecent yellow with CF bonnet/wing. Should look ok.

I still wanna see a piccy of a car in candy yellow tho !!

:thumbsup:

(Byrn .... what colour is your mr2? Standard? Curious if I've seen it going around.)

oh god. <_<

its dark blue (dull as death infact duller)

yeah standard for the time bein( till i get some funds)

im not a fan of the flip paints either, everyone is doin it and alot of them are a sortof brown whish is just s :censor: t. but i saw i nice two with a sorta green flip paint at www.erebuni.de looks alright but it could just be the wide arches thea i like

I like the black veilside i must say. :)

how random was that!

id go for a metallic black mate, keep it stealth, but have it specially mixed with loads of extra 'metallic' bits than usual gives it a more striking effect if you get me

my old man used to have a fireblade in a similar colour and the flecks were red and purple used to look brilliant and glinted in the sun like a pot o gold

Posted

I really like just plain old black, with a really deep shine it looks the dogs,you know what I mean, like the shiny black motors that come out of the hot rod shops in the states, makes them look almost like black glass, kinda, :unsure: not sure how it would stand on an Mr2 though, might not look as spectactular

Shouldn't that be " taking IT to your ex bird earlier " ? :lol:

The nicest colour i've ever seen on a two was a sky blue metallic. Gorgeous it is. Don't know if it would suit your styling though veilside. I've got a pic of it on my pc but dont know how to post them yet.

Its also got some of the nicest alloys ive ever seen on a two as well. No wheel dealers over here new what make they were. :bookworm: :( I think its an american photo.

Your car looks mean! Black suits the body kit you've got at the moment. I'd go for a black with gold fleck (Like my old G6R). It's a Toyota colour (205 I think) and looks really nice.

If you're changing to a different kit then go for a change in colour :thumbsup:

Graphite Grey I reckon!

Super stealth!

Straight black is always good :P . If I was to go for anything else it would be a nice dark blue. Personally I wouldn't go for a metallic, the reason being if you have a bump later on and need any panels respraying it's very difficult to get an exact paint match.

nope, to show off the lines of any car, you need a light colour.

myself, personally, would go for baby blue or yellow.

Posted

Keep it black.

my new car is black dont ya know :thumbsup:

If you are going to respray it a different colour, then you will have to have the engine/interior etc out, sounds like alot of work to me... If you just need a blow over because of a few scratches etc i'd keep it the same colour...

lol oh dear...im sorry lol. :huh:

I`m thinking i`ll keep it black too, as yeah the engine will have to come out if I want a respray otherwise it`ll look gash...maybe add a flake to the black though?

we`ll see :)

thanks for ur input guys

click me

They can do any finish you want, be it flip, pearl, metal flake, etc. for well cheaper then you will find anywhere else. 1 TOC member has already just used them and had no complaints and of course I recommend them anywhere I go.

The work is top quality and only 2 guys will work on your car. Offering a personal service, they go through everything with you prior to final decision.

Even including your travelling if you sort out a lift with a friend, it will still be cheaper.

If you wanted a complete change of colour then the engine bay can be done at an extra cost. However they are just about fully booked up leading upto donny show as I have already filled their books with recommending them lol!
