nope this is why im sceptical i think white nowadays is more modern when on audis and bmw's etc , not sure how a coupe would pull it off but i love the one in the autods pics
have you seen one ross and what did you think , i will always feel like i have done something wrong in a way if i resprayed it but 8 and a half years i need a change of car or change of colour

Reason I ask is because Simon on here has one (up in Ek) and you could always look at his before deciding?

Plenty of (factory) pearl white ones here in Malaysia. To put things in perspective I've seen about 10-15 PW Coupes but not a single Sprint Blue one!
Used to think the white cars were awesome but now I think it's a bit boring. Too many white cars on the road as well I reckon.

White is the in-colour at the moment, but that will pass. Yellow is rarer now, I'd keep that! Plus it stands out more

Having owned 3 Coupes that needed respraying at one time or another I have considered changing the colour on a number of occasions. My Scottie is now a bit scruffy but I love the colour when she is clean. I bought my Moon Grey when she had very little paint left, and after a full respray with Grigio Moon she is lovely. I also have a Sprint Blue that looks lovely from side-on but the bonnet and roof are lacquer-less, paint-less and love-less. I wouldn't change the colour of any of them, but I would love to own one in Lambo Green or Orange... if I ever get foolish enough to buy another one I would go this way. The mechanicals have to come first though, so I'm waiting for my lottery numbers to come up. A total colour change is a big job (with all the stuff inside the car)... wouldn't go for white though; too many vans around (including mine!) Tim

£2K would be minimum for a proper job... you can get it done for half that, but the quality won't be as good. It also depends if you have metallic paint or not.

doubt it hes a life long friend , but i could ask him, he takes ages as he is extremely thorough and does it at home after his own work
taking out all rubbers and door checks locks etc to ensure no over spray or old paint shows getting a guy who removes and refits the windows etc top notch painter
best wait a couple of weeks and i can get pics up or meet up and you can see for yourself how good it is
