7th September 2005, 20:52

not keen on that colour

7th September 2005, 20:53

Pink and baby blue, lol only playing.

7th September 2005, 20:55

lol, silver then? thats usually a cool colour and goes well with black interior

7th September 2005, 20:57

7th September 2005, 20:59

no i mean i like the idea of gold being used just not red

wanted to see if anybody had anything els to recommend

interior is all black too

7th September 2005, 20:59

yeah gold! they do some good interior sticker kits on cituning! or you could spray. imo it wud be easier with the stickers

7th September 2005, 21:00

you can get a better result with spraying though

7th September 2005, 22:02

gold or black, no point in any other colours cos it jus wudnt go with ur car, i seen a gold car on ssc with blue interior and sprayed and it was awful!

7th September 2005, 22:04

silvers the smart choice my friend

7th September 2005, 22:07

silver and gold dont go together tho craig!

7th September 2005, 22:09

i got it but it would cost more - carbon fibre look

8th September 2005, 00:14

think il go with gold

sounds the right decision, aint got the money for anythin special

thanks alot everyone picking the paint up Friday so i can do it then

8th September 2005, 01:27

8th September 2005, 01:30

8th September 2005, 01:46

8th September 2005, 01:49

when you polish it you get that kind of look anyway
?

8th September 2005, 03:06

make sure u gets everything

wet n dry, primer, the colour and lacquer

8th September 2005, 03:28

yep all listed

will sand it down real good so no polish is left

think il jsut get paint from Citroen an not rest

Halfords will do all rest cheaper wont they ?

8th September 2005, 03:44

halfors should have the paint for your car neways

everynow and again they do a deal for a tenner where you get the primer, paint and lacquer

edit: but youll probly wont get more than your centre console out of the cans

8th September 2005, 03:55

i had a look in Halfords for the paint yesterday and tehy didnt have the gold colour, so phoned up Citroen to order sum, they are gettin 125ml spray cans in is that enough ?

8th September 2005, 04:00

erm not sure

ill have a check what i had

8th September 2005, 04:01

ok cheers mate

im off now so will check up again tomorrow

8th September 2005, 04:03

if u ask in halfords they will colour match any colour and mix it up for ya. well they do in county durham store.

8th September 2005, 05:19

125ml is nothing, maybe enough for one coat maybe another half coat

8th September 2005, 14:56

i think i've used most of 2 300ml cans to spray the air vents, speaker grilles & centre console.

take you time tho mate - worth it in the end. and have some patience with the centre console - its a bitch !!

also if you go for a drive without the centre console in re-attach the hazard switch otherwise your indicators won't work. i found this out half way down the road

9th September 2005, 00:07

went to Halfords and they cant get the gold colour even if they mixed it

what can i do now ?

9th September 2005, 00:38

they shud b able to, wot about go for another gold colour surely they have some kind of gold it, i thought halfords moto was they cud get any colour paint if not they can mix it?! at the darlo store says they can mix 40,000 different colours!

yeah halfords always have that 3 for a tenner jay

9th September 2005, 00:46

il go again tomorrow then to see what they can get closest too

would it cost more than a £10 if they had to mix it ?

10th September 2005, 00:29

no they wont do it

12th September 2005, 23:27

I did mine at the weekend in silver. Speaker grills, vent trims and center console.

12th September 2005, 23:44
