That's one brave respray as it'll be something he/she/they will have to live with.

You do realise what would happen if I told MrsC that she could paint the car however she wanted?

ETA: In fact, I object far more to the bonnet scoops and spoiler than the paintwork...

But the paint does a remarkable job of hiding the scoops and wing...

The one plus wheel and one standard 20VT wheel is revolutionary .... great thinking right there

Scoop, what scoop?

Hahahah, I didn't see it or the odd rims laugh

Visual blindness to anything other then a synaesthetic over load of colours!

I like it, especially how the side completely hides the usual slab sided look the coupe can suffer from. Not so sure about the front though.

Talking of resprays anyone had any experience, seen any coupes wrapped? Prices seem cheaper than a quality full spray job. Obviously in a slightly classier finish than the multi coloured eyesore.

The paint looks OK imo, if you're going to modify and modernise then it needs at least 18 inch wheels as the standard albeit mixed look lost.

I wouldn't have it on mine but it looks really well done and I quite like it!

It might attract malingerers though - unless you always garaged it.

How difficult would the respray and blending be if it got a long, deep scratch? confused

I really like that, it's like a tie dyed rainbow flag.

The actual paint work that's gone into that is stunning cool

Not something I could live with - Sprint Blue attracts enough attention lol laugh but still a brilliant paint job smile
