Is it meant to be pink? Looks good, anyway.

Congratulations first of all Mark, I hope you had a great day. The Paintwork looks good, I like the suit aswell, I've been looking for a "Miami Vice" type white suit.... :oops:

Very good result. I particularly like the white gold Coupes from the early run. Worth every penny.

And congratulations, too.

*picks thread up by the bottom, hauls it back up*

Mark, pray tell me who you went to for the paintwork on your car.

Also, a couple of relevant questions.
How much did you pay for a full respray?
How was the service - satisfied, comfortable with them, confident?
Where did you go for this?

I'm going to start hunting for a body-shop of good repute well in advance of getting the Vitesse fully redone, getting quotes and estimates as I go.

Thanks,

Chris.
Vard.

Painted by a friend FOC in his spare time, hence why he had it for 4 weeks, not that happy with rear NS quarter to be fair as he rushed it and didn't apply enough paint.. Rear quarter needs re-doing.

No idea on places to go for a re-spray.

Paint base coat cost me £40, did all the prep myself. Got laquer FOC too.
