colour restoring

[will.i.am]

Only a bit gelous but the drive of the car keeps me happy, going from a 1.2 to this keeps my smile going what sort of price would it be to have it re-done in yellow? and has he got the proper equipment as I had a previous car resprayed before thinking there vaccum system worked and heaters but turned out they didnt and it ended up with the orange peal effect. cost me £270 for both sides to be done on a corsa b (had bump strips removed and there wasnt any paint benief them). wasnt too noticable till you got close. but dont want that effect again

Yeah he's got all the proper stuff I had full outside with black roof and spoiler with the wheels refurbed in black also and it was 900 feel free to look at mine first

sounds like a good price to me and looks good in the pictures will be a while till i can afford another respray though guessing you went for a yellow that doesnt fade as quick as the standard seat yellow?

 

[Seal_LCR]

Nah it's standard yellow as I didn't wanna do door shuts under bonnet etc but if u look after it, it won't fade in my ownership

Your right Chappers, its the clear coat that goes milky, i cut through my clear coat and underneath the paint is as fresh as the day it went on.

Why do we have to suffer the doom and gloom of paint fade, it must be cos we've all choosen the best colour for the sexiest hot hatch out there.

Annoyingly my car has been resprayed by previous owner and I attempted a few touch ups and found out it's no longer onvi yellow. It's a few shades darker. Now I either need to find out what colour mine is to match or get it resprayed onvi again. Grrrrr

Maybe because it's OVNI yellow instead?

When I got mine resprayed, the guy said there were a few other OVNI paintcodes with varying degrees of red or green in it.

Now tahts a really annoying problem, think i'll wait till mine fades to white and then respray

 

[aaron-gardner]

I got the correct paint code made up from the label in the boot. And upon further investigation I have found the over spray lines in the shut areas. It's a pretty poor respray in all honesty. I could do a better job with a few rattle cans.

agreed I think its the best colour too LOL

you'll never get a touch up paint bang on with a brus its a totally different way of applying the colour

 

[aaron-gardner]

I re-sprayed mine to blend it in but then realised it's a fair bit of a difference. So I'm going to remove my bumper and just re-spray the whole thing.

there are a few shades, but the colour will also change depending upon the ground coat used and the ammount of coats of base colour added, wouldnt do it in a solid or it'll never cover
