They look good, wait colour are you doing them?? Or is it a surprise??

[dark]

still havent decided, I am thinking about rubbing the black paint off my car at the moment! It doesn't have primer underneath! If i do - that will change everything!!

[Cookie28]

haha nice way colour is it under there? or do you have no idea??

[dark]

like a dark blue

[Cookie28]

ok i like that colour even though it can look very purple in some lights

[dark]

yeah it is kind or purpley!! I am really torn as to what to do! Big job to rub it back and will probably look like crap!!

If you actually can take it back to that colour without scrathing it up or taking the clear coat or anything, I say go for it! When I first got mine I wasnt a massive fan of the colour, I wanted a black one, but it grows on you real bad, it's one of the deepest, most cool colours I've ever seen. If you keep it clean and the dust off it, it doesn't even look purple. If I were to respray a car I would probably re do it in that colour now. I absolutely love it.

After a good detail and some nice wax, it comes up like this



Oh how I miss thee.

started rubbing it back - and yeahhhh nah, I dont think I'm going to bother! Massive job and for all I know its hammered under there. If I decide to get rid of the matte black I'll get it resprayed properly in a colour I like! So the blackness continues it would seem!

yep its a freaking huge job, only try for this if you got weeks & weeks free and a prepared for some hard work.
Or the other way out is vinly Wrap it.

Looked into vinyl - but its not too cheap, so will probably not go that way. Would love to respray it though. Took the volks to the powdercoaters yesterday as well.

[Cookie28]

What colour are you getting them done??

[dark]

satin black, gold or silver bolts I think

[Cookie28]

nice i think id go with the gold bolts and polished lips, but no matter what way you go I'm sure they'll look good!

[dark]

Got the wheels back from the powder coater today - came up really nice. Just waiting on the bolts now and meanwhile the search for a suitable tyre for the front wheel begins!
Also some guy came up to me in the carpark at supercheap and told me my matte black rattle can paint job "looked pimp." Which I thought was pretty funny!

[dark]

Really wishing I had the space to sort out this paint - in certain lights it looks ratty as.

I need a spray booth!
Put the german flag emblem on the grill again too.
