mainly because im a poor student lol just figured it would be cheaper than a complete respray in tornado red, plus i really like matt black cars :)

what do you guys suggest, get the bumpers colour coded, maybe buy a new drivers door and get the key marks blown out? (anyone know ruff prices for that?  :undecided:)

this is how she stands at the moment,

mate, just spray it matt black, take your time, rub it all down first like and pop all teh windows out and do a propper job.

then when its starts to look a bit shabby, either but some cans and touch it up, or go to local supermarket, but some chalk sticks and have some fun! love seeing cars with chalk writing all over, looks special!

whatever colour you paint it, the dents will still be there. save your money for the next car. even if you matt black it it'll take a f**k load of rattle cans or you'll have to borrow a compressor. for me, for that effort i'd wait and do it properly or wait for a new car.

I agree with joe... Take your time, good things come to those who wait  :wink: Hence why it's gonna take me so long to get mine sorted :)
