I don't mind spending hours and hours rubbing down my car... gives me a lot of pleasure!

I agree... but... what can I afford? Maybe I'll just leave it the colour it is now, win lotto and then go all out! ...lol... but its ok... I'm dreaming I guess... you guys are awesomely cool for a new girl on the block!

Just save up, cheap paint jobs just arent worth the money. That said, if you're prepared to put in a few weekends work, its not terribly difficult to paint a car. Just really really really time consuming.
In fact, have a search and see if there is a build thread from RomanV where he painted his MR2 black :lol:

if you can prep the car yourself then yes it will be much cheaper,
im doing most of the prep myself right now,
the painter said there will be no guarantee on the finish if he doesn't prep it, im fine with that adage, depends how fussy you want to be really,
my car wont be a show any time soon,

theres 3 black FXGT's at my house, and there was another one as well before it got scrapped

Honestly... stop hogging them! I can only find bloody white ones!

Actually if you're after an AE82 (85-88?) then I dont know if they ever came factory black? Would be very uncommon. AE92 and AE101's, I think black is the most common :lol:
