Bad news but if your being honest I reckon it would of always been needing a paint at some point being Onvi and the age you know you would of had to do it to make it perfect.

I reckon it's going to be OEM goodness
 
Lol. I know I know. It will all be yellow. Not a fan of black roof with yellow cars.

Tbh prob scrap the pearl idea due to me not going into the door shuts.

Tomorrow will see the world quickest respray lol

Both bumpers will be painted on the car for colour, everything else will be stripped off.

With ovni yellow, the more coats you give it the yellower it goes, it's that opaque.

Sorry to hear Jake, but then again hats off to you for going at it so soon!

I'm also a fan of keeping the whole car yellow and not a black roof on yellow. Looks smarter imo.

Hope it turns out well mate.
 
little update on today,

got the car stripped, glass is still in for now to keep it semi clean.

everything else is now off the car,

flatted down, repairs done and into the booth for two coats of primer, tomorrow will see paint.

skirts, handles, mirrors and roof trims will be done after the car, both bumpers will be done fixed slightly in place for colour match :)
 
Good to see you back in a LCR and making another one look mint. Going to be another very happy buyer when you sell this ;)
