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

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.
