gus the bus Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Neil, Stevie Walker in Bathgate. Been using Stevie for the last 21years (feck am old ) Widnae touch anybody else Link to comment
drb5 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Neil, consider first what the paintwork could go like afterwards. To do a full proper respray costs 4 figures, then some wee runt comes along with a key... Another thing to consider is how it can affect resale value. Dunno if you intend keeping it till it dies, but someone with a keen eye WILL find it's had a full respray and question it. You CANNOT get a 100% factory finish, even if the factory finish isn't great. Link to comment
drb5 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Ooooooooooooooooooh dear. Me thinks you'd be ruining a perfectly good motor there, but whatever you fancy mate! I take it the big scratch down the side won't t-cut out at all? Edited June 24, 2008 by drb5 Link to comment
thewelsho Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Matt black! Well now, that is different and would look real cool Link to comment

Yeah they are good my mate works there as a painter, also James Blair in Falkirk, he just painted my full roof and touched a few bits up for me. Link to comment
thewelsho Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 hubba hubba Oh yes! The Bat Mobile - would look great on a Scoob, I think. Also, the matt black finish looked great on the police cars in the first RoboCop movie Link to comment
dan_jess Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Matt Black will look brilliant. What wheels/wheel colour will you be going for? Link to comment
superstar_tradesman Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I voted yes mate, think it would look stunning with the right wheels etc. Link to comment
scouk Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hmn not sure... Straight forward STi in matt black... Nah... But if you stick soem nice grills all over hte place and chunk i up a little with black wheels and stuff yeah getting somewhere.. Paint alone will be lacking something, but matched with a nice kit like batman styleee then yeah could work! The paint will attract attention but the rest of teh car has to keep up with the style... But then I've never seen a matt black hawkeye so it may well look good on it's own... Myself...I'm a huge fan of shiny Black Hawkeye STi's with silver alloys Oooh dribble! Link to comment
scouk Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Actually forget a 4 figure respray you can get a nice matt finish using sandpaper !!! Link to comment
scouk Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Starting to get visions of an RB320 in matt black... and thinking Link to comment
