resprays

[belfastman]

how many members have had a new respray to spruce their cars up seeing they are getting on in years?

[colm_mcm]

Ones I can think of offhand with resprays are:

Dave/Johns blue GPX
My old blue GPX
Elaines pink GS
Ikeane's blue GPX
Sebastian's red GR

[kevinod]

Miss enzo got a respray too, and I'm nearly afraid to suggest Janus...

[Sebastian]

....and I'm nearly afraid to suggest Janus...

oooo, don't even go there

[Johnk]

Can not remember who but think there was a Candy red 1 as well

[Bernard]

If I was getting a respray it'd have to be midnight purple.
Absolutely gorgeous colour, this car was for sale in the UK recently.

[CJ]

^^ Possibly one of my favorite car colours, inspired by the R33 GTR if I'm not mistaken.

[Dragonheart]

Or the Ford Fiesta.......

Does look more like the GTR purple though doesnt it, beautiful colour, really like it.

Think one of the most amazing colours I have seen on an FTO is the colour Danny Kierans had on his one, the candy red colour.

That's who it was alright couldn't think of it yesterday

Or the Ford Fiesta......

IIRC, the Ford colour is purple velvet while the Nissan is midnight purple, the latter looks much better IMO.

[Dave]

Don't Toyota have a nice purple too! (well they did on the new ads)

[colm_mcm]

Brocade Red (Corolla Verso and Avensis)



They also have Deep Amethyst (iQ and Urban Cruiser)

As far as I know there are actually three midnight purple colours, the one in the pic I posted is #2.
The others aren't quite as nice.

Oh big time ya, its a savage colour.
The ford one was used for the racing Puma too was it? Or at least a very similar purple to it anyway.

I just got my roof, nearside rear quarter and both wing mirrors done last week. Not quite a full respray but enough to address the issues on the car as the rest of the paintwork was mint. Only cost me £340 into the bargain

[belfastman]

[gary d]

Was woodvale motors ironically based in Agnes street industrial park. off the crumlin rd

What colour is yours now Janus? Is it anywhere near being finsihed?

[Muad_dib77]

Almost completed...everything is sprayed and bootlid/bonnet polished... Just needs to polishe the rest of the thing now and stick it all back together...

Soon the hill will be alive with the sound of... an fto driving the speed limit!

[CJ]

Cool, so it'll be up and running pretty soon then? Did you do the spray job yourself or get someone to do it?

[Muad_dib77]

teaser is in the avatar cj:-) didnt spray it myself, sadly i dont have the skills or the equipment....mind you at this stage i probably could have done the course and acuired the gear. Based on the quality of what i've seen i'm quite happy with the finish..if it hadn't taken so darn long i would actually have recommended him.

[miss-enzo]

Miss enzo got a respray too,

correct!!! had a full respray and had bumper and both wings sprayed since thats to eejits who cant drive and clipped my parked car!!!

if i had to do it again i would have done the roof and pillars in gunmetal/almost black like i wanted in the first place and was talked out of!! maybe next yr!
