Kev.O Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I understand peoples concerns about resprays but I'd consider having mine resprayed (if I had the money) as with any second hand car there's always small dents, stone chips and scratches. I you want the car looking it's best then surely a full professional respray is the only option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Same here, what choice do you have if you want it looking great? Im sure mint originals would fetch top top dollar, but people buy them for the model/mileage factor/service history more than the paintwork I think.

Kev.O Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I think if I did get mine resprayed then I would take photo's for evidence. I guess it depends on how anal you are about your paint work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I think respraying in the original colour just to cover some imperfactions such as scratches and stone chips on a car that is several years old is ok and if you're doing it for this reason its usually localised to one area such as the front end. For this you could still have a genuine mint original car. To respray the whole car is a bit different and guess it's not cheap so you would need good reason to do so - maybe it was red and faded badly for example. If it's done properly then great, seen some real botch jobs though, enough to make me think twice about it. A fully resprayed car would make me curious as a buyer, so I guess it's not a bad idea to take pictures before to show that you've not just covered up some nastyness Black with flick, looks cheap? Well maybe, probably depends, I'm talking quite subtle here, not pimp my ride style!!! I didn't even like black cars until I got one lol - was a fan of red before, the supra red is nice but doesn't quite do it for me. I love the black now, but like I've said, keeping it looking its best is a biach. black sure does shine like a mirror when polished though *** end thread hijack *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
