Resprays

Sorry, didn't know which place to put this.....

 

Has anyone had a respray done on their Soop / got a quote for one?

 

I'm going to look (2nd look) at a nice red one in a few days time, and, while the paintwork is immaculate, being the fickle person I am, after a year or so I'll probably want it a different colour.

 

Is it best to go with the normal Supra colours, or should I go unique?  The Soop itself is unabused, and fairly cheap (it's an NA, but I've had a drive in it and it's enough for what I want.....even compared with the TTs I've driven) - I figure buying it and getting it resprayed will still be cheaper.

 

Anyone with advice / possible costs?  I know they're normally quite hefty.....

The guy you need to talk to about paint is, er, whatshisname, just gone right out of my head.

 

Speak to Justin, he'll know right away who I mean. Oh, this is daft, it was on the tip of my tongue a second ago. Please tell him somebody.................

 

Yours,

J

sounds like a flip-flop paint job.

it's a TVR option.   v.expensive.   £1800 option on TVR's apparently.      there was a Tuscan with flip-flop paint at Le Mans.   very flash.    In a way though i think it's too OTT as if the car has a strong shape, it doesn't need a multi-colour paint-job effect to stand out.

 

IMHO.

My brother has an iridescent blue Alfa 156, its an incredible paint - its a silver/green colour in bright light, but than turns to a pale metallic blue as the sun moves around it - really cool - but i'd hate to try to touch it up.

 

Those of you coming to Donington on Sunday will see it - i won't be in the Supe as we needed 4 seats :(  - Wasn't going to sit in the back of a Skyline either !!

Nick Phelps is certainly the man if you want a really professional paint job - he did my front lip for me - brilliant job - 1 year later and no stones chips in it..

 

I saw his brothers Cosworth which he'd painted - it was absolutely tremendous, when i get my side skirts, front lip etc. i will definately be getting him to do them, as he plasticises' then so well.

 

Might get him to do the full respray later next year :biggrin:

do all windows  come out and what about engine bay

 

if you paying £1500 +  it wants to be done right
