How many of this would a Clio need?

Or thinking of just rolling some paint on What's the best option??

And does anyone know if I have to tell my insurance and everything about the colour change?

DVLA need to know, and you'll need to tell insurance.

City took 6 to do the side and front bumper.

I can get it cheap too...

how much per can??

Will have to sand everything and primer first

Going by that i will need 15ish for the whole car

Don't do it. Please don't do it.

Why??

Matt black cars are 'the shiz' yoh!!

Haven't done a car, but i used three 500ml can's alone on a set of 15" wheels, same again in primer and lacquer.

Sam - I know we will all tell you to just do it but you will make the car worthless if you do. At least at the mo someone might buy it.

Sell/save and buy a civic

This is the look I wana go for

15 cans of paint on it will add to it's value... extra weight when it goes to Buckies!

You think someone will really buy it?? The paintwork is in poopoo condition tbf

Civic and Megane plans are out the window now due to uni. Will be keeping the clio until it dies and i'm bored of the stripes so it needs to change

As the motor trade saying goes "There's a axe wound for every car" Or at least thats what we say in B'ham lol.

So yeh someone will and you have more chance of that happening if its not matt black lol.

But if you keeping it then why not just dont get bored of it lol.

I wont if it goes black

then in a year it can have 2.0 lump in it

Im turning up with these

If they don't scratch the paint it's fine

Apparently you can get a fairly good finish in White with rattle cans... I'd be doing that or maybe looking at other satin colours. Should be able to pick up military spec paint cheaply, basically anything with a satin finish will look fairly ok

Bet if you let me loose on it and let me take some stickers off it could look pretty respectable though... Most of it will probably just need a polish!

Sam I will help spray it if you do this.

I think the saxo took around 14-16 cans to do the outside.
I am pretty handy with a rattle can, could do it with the gun but will cost more than if stu gets the cans.

Lol, white would look cool... but I made such a mess of the spoiler last time

I have tried using polish... But no polish can remove this



or this



Or all the other scratches and dents i cba to post

Yes but under that body is a 1.2 with enough power to almost move the car.

Sam i'm buying you a sticker it needs to stay as is tbh

Get it carbon wrapped

Don't give me more ideas

EDIT - Yay 1000 posts, now i can handle a powerslide :/ Never done one but okay

no sam it has to go on now unless your still getting the shagpile interior

Seats have to go back in now

People need lifts...

It can go on the window

cover the seats in a shagpile carpet?

I bought 12 x 500ml cans, and I used 6 to get my car like this



I done no prep, apart from sanding down the rough bits and cleaning it with some paint prep cleaner poopoo. 2 months on and I have 2 little bits I need to touch up, but I don't give a f*ck as it's done in 5 mins

*Edit* The bonnet was still moist (my fav word) that's why it looks like that

don't do it. it WILL look poopoo, and you will be able to see the lines left my using an aerosol can. if you want to spray it atleast use a compressor and air gun.

I did offer mine for him to use but its Sam lol, you'll understand him once you have met him.

Also they dont look that bad once done, my saxo was ok, even for a russhe outside job with no prep

I used to paint my Minis with a tin of outdoor paint and some small rollers. Give it two coats and it will look fantastic.
