yeh i do :lol: matey just got to b careful with certain products coz me mate dun his and it turned white :( and his car was blue lol he was gutted lol yeh mate know how to bring paint up just havent dun it for while just seeing if it wud been better 4 paint job but i will have a crack at the paint at weekend :D

u said u were a pro valeter but dont no how to bring paint up?

yep matey i got megurias, thats the only stuff that touches me car :D

I'd use AutoGlym Paint renovator, but don't use too much or rub too hard cos its harsh stuff. Then i'd polish it with a good polish like Meguires, Zymol etc

ok mate red sxi i take ya word for it ;) u mite save me sum major cash :D looks like t cut all the way probs it is a metallic car like so hav to b careful with certain products

Nah u dont need a respray, your car can be bought up to look like new with certain polished/methods.

mop :boggle:

mmmm i ask bodyshop abt that adam i can do t cut and stuff but i will ask bodyshop abt that 1st as i used to b a pro valatar but i do fancy a respray but anything cheaper to make it look better will b good :look:

wat u think guys by the pics u think i need it???

its called a 'mop'

i mean some decent t-cut rubbing compound
polish electric buffer some serious polish jobs a good un

ive seen a mk3 xr2i whitch was pink all ova faded by the sun
they polished it rubbed it etc it looked new
i kid you not
they dont charge much either much cheaper than a re-spray

cheers for that wayne ;) just like to know other peeps opinons !!!

Adam u think a bodyshop can bring up the existing paint to match the arches,m3 mirrors,handles etc does that mean they got to respray the whole car as in sand it down or u mean something else....?

like i sed on msn bro once kit is on and sprayed it will lookk wiked no need 4 respray :P

a body shop could bring up your existing paint to match.......

Hi peeps

I mite b planning on having a respray the same colour of me car like but iam not to sure coz i had the arches dun the same colour as the car but i think there like so fresh paint and new they dont go with the body thus if i have the kit it wont go with car, check me garage out and tell me wat u think guys!!

1. Have respray off body and then go with kit
2. or just have kit chucked on and sorted out

need help peeps cheers :D
