    time for something different i think. me my mate just sprayed his whole car in spray can primer, took us a while but it dont look too bad. hes now laquered it as he wants to stick with it, so was thinking about spraying the whole of mine satin black as i heard if you spray a whole car in a gloss colour using spray cans it will be shit but matt or satin paints dont look too bad. what do you think? satin black with black wheels and white details? or another bloody bright colour

    Apart from the bonnet which looks a bit slap dash - the rest of the car looks spot on - good job

    lol was my idea to stick with the primer. he didnt think he would like it, told him to laquer the boot (first bit sprayed) and he really liked it.

    Thats it finished, paint wise. bumpers arent fixed properly, hence the big gaps.

    Look up beaniemoo
    satin black sax right there

    tbh doing something different really needs imagination and IMO it's more putting a new twist on things
    like beaniemoo put a new twist on the euro thing with his paint

    it's taking something onestep further

    I think i have seen his sax in fast car, tbh thats where i got the idea from lol. Bright colours are played out now imo.
    im going to canada for a couple of months next week, might get some inspiration from them lol... no chrome though.
    i do agree, that in todays scene, you have to try something different or people just slate you for copying but even trying something different dosent always turn out right.

    satin black would look good, i don't know if i would with white bits, a photoshop will help.

    Thats what im trying to decide whether white would suit satin. have asked for a pshop, if it looks dodgy will just spray the wheels black and leave it at that

    I've never been a fan of black wheels on a black car as it can sometimes look like your alloys have either been nicked or you simply don't have any.
    saying that, the white details would definitely make it unique.
    agree with the photoshop trial first
