Nice new coat will encourage you to keep it looking good, and you'll treat it again with new wheels and springs...

Yeah dude, do the paint first so you look at it and it looks beautiful to you, then do the other mods. Could try hook me up with your mates rates style deal cos my car needs a new coat of paint and im broke :wink:

yea mates rates is great aye, i only have to pay for paint witch ive got quoted at 200-300$ round abouts

i dont think id be able to score it for you tho man, its my old mans contact nto mine.
if u wanna cheap paintjob go to a place where people are learning to spray cars and they do it all for u and i dont think they charge you either. i heard of someone who had done this. not sure how it worked tho.

What about a nice deep navy blue?
Something classic for a cool, classic car. :)

Maybe you and z|gen should organise to do both cars (diff colours thou?)at the same time, get a better deal?

I did that with my friend, we organised to have some factory OEM parts sprayed and fitted, got 20% off.
